New year, new home! We’ve moved! Our old landlords decided to sell our flat, so we needed to find a new place pretty quickly. We liked our old home a lot, especially the location… Osney Island is a small island built on a floodplain in the middle of the Thames just west of the city centre. It was developed very quickly in the middle of the 19th century to accommodate the workers who were coming to Oxford to work on the new railway.

David Austin’s Gardens, July 2011 For my birthday this past weekend we went to David Austin Roses for the second time this year.
