This weekend saw me away from home starting with a wonderful day at the Test Match on Friday. It was cracking Test Match that had you totally gripped as fortunes swung back and forth. I was really impressed by the Rose Bowl, the view of the cricket was excellent\u00a0and the organisation was first class. Picture below.<\/p>\n<p>I made my way from the Rose Bowl to join my Book Club Chums in Oxford for a literary weekend (sic) We had a great time visiting land marks connected with authors or particular\u00a0books. Each of us had to do a presentation and we had a tour of the city by a guide who focussed on the literary links. Picture below of us in the Eagle and Child pub where Tolkein and C.S. Lewis used to meet.<\/p>\n<p>My\u00a0action packed week continues as Clare and I head North to do cycle the Morecambe Bay Cycleway. Also have more sport planned for the weekend as well.<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2375\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=2375\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?fit=1600%2C1200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036 (1)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?fit=584%2C438&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/417b692f-f4bb-40ac-91b8-272bc393d036-1.jpg?w=1168&amp;ssl=1 1168w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0851.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2376\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=2376\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0851.jpg?fit=240%2C320&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"240,320\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_0851\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0851.jpg?fit=240%2C320&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2376\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0851.jpg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0851.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thestorytraveller.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0851.jpg?w=240&amp;ssl=1 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My goodness it is all action here, all pleasurable!
