Pitt Rivers Museum - Oxford

Behind the natural history museum is the Pitt Rivers museum which is unbelievable. It's crammed full with bizarre collections from around the world. It's very difficult to negotiate round the display cabinets as they're so close together.

The museum is in line for a top museum award this year.

Would be nice to own one of these cottages but parking is a nightmare in summer.

Lower Heyford

Found a nice mooring at Lower Heyford and had a wander to the village

Narrowboat Stella's Travels

This time we're travelling from Wigrams Turn Marina near Daventry to Oxford (and back).

The South Oxford canal is very rural with lots of wildlife and pretty villages.
