There IS an Englande

I've been on a trip to Oxfordshire.  And Olde Englande is alive and well - what a relief! 

Lunch at The Bell Inn was a delight. Someone held the door open for me to enter, locals sat at the bar holding forth at the iniquities of the world, there was a real sense of "community". It was old fashioned, courteous, quiet, under-stated Englande.

That's the England (well, not Oxfordshire ...) that my mother has retired to. Courteous and quiet.

(Hey that looks like a nice beer garden).
