Blenheim Palace

We went and got the hire car from Europcar. It's a Vauxhall. We got lost trying to find our way out of Reading. We drove to Oxford (where we got even more lost. Don't blame me, it's my parents) and it was FREEZING COLD and raining. We saw the graduates from Oxford University and lots of double-decker buses. We went to Blenheim Palace which is just north of Oxford.

We liked the tour. Blenheim Palace was a gift from Queen Anne (the last Stuart Queen) to
the first duke of Marlborough for his victory at Blenheim in Bavaria (now called Germany) in 1704.
This is me giving a sermon in the Palace chapel.
We went to the Cotswolds (mum loves all the old buildings) where we are now staying at Peacocks cottage just outside Burford. I was still suffering the affects of jet lag and wanted to fall asleep during dinner at the Mermaid pub in Burford.

Come on guys! Send me some comments. We'd love to hear from you.
