Juneathon Day 3: the one with the entertaining train journey and trip to the Old Post Office

I’ve made it back to Wallingford. This post may well contain a few typos as I also made it to the Old Post Office pub in Wallingford. I have a feeling that this week may well turn into quite a boozy and foody week.

I tried and quite possibly failed to make the most of my unexpected day of annual leave. I spent a bit of time when it was sunny trying to take some photos for a couple of review posts. I don’t think I’ll be winning any awards for my blog photography. I updated my CV and sent off an email to find out more information about a job I’d seen advertised. I don’t want to waste everyone’s time if I don’t have the relevant qualifications and skills.

After lunch, I travelled down to Oxford for what I hope will be the last time Cross Country train journey for quite some time. I don’t want this to turn into a moanfest, but I’ve had a few pints so I’ll be extra honest. I wanted my final train journey between Birmingham and Oxford to be relaxing; it wasn’t. Why do some passengers feel the need to ‘share’ their shitty music with everyone? I seem to attract what I’d describe as slightly scary passengers.

There may well be more public transport related rants as from next week I’ll be commuting across Birmingham. I can’t wait…

The centre of Oxford was a little on the busy side, and I was pleased when the bus to Wallingford made an appearance. I got back to Wallingford, dumped my bags and then headed to the Old Post Office to meet a colleague. I’d like to think that the tomato bruschetta starter and Chicken Caesar salad main cancelled out the four pints I consumed but I’m not convinced.

Day four of Juneathon will hopefully be slightly less boozy and more active.

Random photos from Day 3

After not having many photo taking opportunities yesterday, I could have bored you all to tears today with dozens of photos of Oxford, Wallingford and the Old Post Office.



I decided to share four photos which just about sum up the third day of Juneathon.

As a gin lover, this sounds just about perfect ?

It’s National Gin Day this weekend!

Why not celebrate with us with a 10k run around London learning all about its juniper drenched history?
