We certainly covered some ground today. We began the day by taking the train up to Oxford to see what’s to be seen there. I did the tour of the Bodleian Library at Oxford and then embarked on the greatest quest of my life to reunite with Clarke. Once we had found each other we strolled around town and saw a lot of the other tourist attractions; Radcliffe Camera, The Covered Market, Exeter & Christchurch College etc. Then we trekked up to where Tolkein used to live. Interesting to see this little cottage that someone else now lives in. The only indication he lived there is the blue plaque on the front. Continuing in this vein we walked down to The Eagle & Child where “The Inklings” used to meet and stopped there for some refreshment. Then we headed up to the cemetery and saw where he was buried. Wrapped up the day with more strolling around to some of the earlier mentioned tourist sites and then took the train back to London. We had dinner in Soho at Cecconi’s and then I took Clarke over to introduce him to my favorite London hangout, Scarfes Bar.
