A couple of weeks ago me & Adam had a week off together & from the last post you can see that we spent a few days in Guernsey- however for the rest of the week we decided to visit somewhere a little closer to home & settled on Oxford.

We found a place via lastminute.com (literally booked it the night before) just outside of Oxford in the extremely pretty village of Woodstock- before you ask there were minimal hippie's & no music festivals taking place! I loved the buildings, tree lined streets, foliage changing from green to orange to red, the quirky independently run shops & the 'lazy' vibe of the village & people.

Of course we also visited Oxford city centre, unfortunately for us the weather was not on our side, as it was pretty much raining constantly since we got there! However this did not put a dampener (cheesy weather pun not intended- cringe!)on our day & we had a great time strolling around the shops, university campus & cobbled streets. 

Oxford has a huge variety of shops- from the high street stores such as Topshop, Zara, Whistles, Jack Wills ect, to more independent stores & this little undercover market place we found! Me & Adam were both extremely fascinated by the pheasants hanging in a butchers window- we were unsure if they were real or fake!

I really enjoyed our mini break in Oxford- it was relaxing, enjoyable & a nice change of atmosphere. For those interested here is the hotel just outside of Woodstock that we stayed in.

Have you visited somewhere new recently?

Much Love,

Elle
