Visiting James in Oxford. April 2011

Site updated on 19 Apr 2011

March 28th - April 12th Paulie and Stephen visited Neil and James in Oxford. It's been a year and a half since our last catch up, so the trip was well overdue! We kicked off with the Oxford Literary Festival, had more outings as the weather warmed up, and we all headed to France for a few days. It was all just lovely.

For those with a geek leaning, the travels can be mapped to those telecommunication towers that Stephen's iPhone connected to!
