highlyeccentricShortly before we headed to France, Dr J's mother drove to Oxford and we went down to an absolutely charming pub, only accessible by towpath or barge.

Iffley Lock
Various birdies:
Upstream from the lock:

Lock:
And downstream:
Our luncheon venue. Apparently they once served exactly two dishes: Stew with meat, and stew without meat. Good stew. At this stage there is more of a range but it's still good.

Observe the mill-stone by the door.
