From our Lancashire Correspondent Dear Mr Adams, Having stayed in Oxhill for a week-long holiday last week, I felt compelled to visit your website to remind myself of how lovely the village was. I also wanted to drop you a line to thank the community for making us feel welcome, and to give an "outsider's view" of the village. We live in a densely populated area of Oxhill is truly delightful; we were so comfortable that
we barely left the village all week (except for the necessary trips to
Tysoe for supplies, and a day-trip to With the opening of Euro 2004 coinciding with our arrival, we couldn't resist a few drinks in The Peacock, and the landlord and landlady were really friendly. Of course, it would have been rude to refuse their hospitality, so we spent a few evenings at the bar, watching the football, and marvelling at the fact that the pub swears allegiance to Doncaster Rovers, and also sells candy necklaces - quite bizarre! We also spent some time wandering around the church grounds, trying to decipher the inscriptions on the older gravestones. Lichen clearly thrives in Warwickshire! It was a shame to miss the open gardens last Saturday, but we had to set off for home that morning. A peek over the fences on Friday evening revealed a tantalising glimpse of your residents' horticultural skills, and I hope that the event went well. So, I'll conclude by thanking you for a relaxing holiday, and by admitting to feeling a little envious that you get to enjoy every day what we sampled for just seven. We've been back in work for a week now, so the stress levels are already building up. Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to visit again soon! Kind regards, Kate Wildman and Ange Rawlinson, |
