Yet another post from the series “Wake up in the morning feeling like…”
Down in another direction from the centre, here is the Isis, a part of the Thames above the Iffley lock which cuts through the city. It’s late enough to have missed the high traffic hour for Oxford rowers shuffling out of their college boathouses around 5 in the morning.
The outdoor pub, The Head of the River (http://www.headoftheriveroxford.co.uk) has to be one of the coolest pubs of all time. Framed in black iron and heavy oakwood, it has the quaint atmosphere, matched by the warm winter cider scent and banter in the air.
When you’re courage is all up, ready to face yet another beautiful shot of an English breakfast in all of its glory?
The sausage does look more crispy and there is unfalsifiable evidence of grilling on the bacon and tomatoes. As ever, baked beans.
