The plan for today was originally to go to the University of Oxford arboretum to gaze upon the autumn colours. That was, at least, until yesterday’s bike buying exploits. So Plan B was to go for a bike ride, come back for a bite to eat, and then go to the arboretum in the evening. That’s not exactly how it worked out. We headed out along the back roads of the back road to Stoke Wood, where we stopped for a walk around and a successful forage for way to many sloes than we really needed (in part thanks to the gererous loan of a passing woman’s walking stick to hook down branches)…
