I've found a footpath that runs through the grounds, so will have a ramble about on the next visit, perhaps tie it in with a trip to Keith Moon's pub/hotel <a href="http://www.thewho.org/tales/mears.htm" rel="nofollow">The Crown and Cushion</a> in Chipping Norton..planet mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015257228377212855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831669069193091334.post-41000404135025436952010-04-21T15:46:01.820+01:002010-04-21T15:46:01.820+01:00Did you find The Ox's gaff?

A Lord Anthony zip up in cream with black and red bands around the cuffs, waistband and on the monkey jacket style collar. There's a pic of me wearing it amongst the structures at Stonehenge (I'll upload one day). I'm still a terror for a zip up now. 'Another one?' is the usual cry when I get a newie though..Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831669069193091334.post-54704361462429503562010-04-19T21:08:07.348+01:002010-04-19T21:08:07.348+01:00The cardy had a zip.

Or try Blockley for the ford that runs down the street rather than across. Or have a pop on the 15 minute walk from Lower Swell (just west of) to Upper Slaughter via the Wardens Way - magic. PS Morton had a market selling almost nothing but outsize undies when we last visited.<br /><br />fulpolos - were they the travel sweets sold in circular brass tins covered in icing sugar (the sweets not the tins)? And wasn't barley sugar meant to be the travel sickness wonder sweet?
