A trip to Oxford

 

It’s my first rest day and it’s a trip to Oxford. Now it’s only a 45 minute drive down the M40, if your thinking of going there’s no parking in the city centre use a park and ride it’s very cheap Thornhill was £2.50 and the bus was free. 

First thing first there are lots of shops to look at yes some of them are geared for tourists with Oxford hoodies and such but there others, there’s a great pen shop Pens Plus and next door there’s a board game shop ! 


It’s good to walk around the dreaming spires we looked in the grounds of Queens college and walked around the Bodleian library and theatre grounds too. We weren’t able to get tickets for a tour of the Bodleian library as they were sold out for the day but it’s high on the list for next time. We got a spot of lunch in the winter market and walked around the town centre looking at the shops and taking in the sights. It’s well worth a visit 

Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼
