Taken on the 26th Sep. That evening I noticed the sun reflecting on the clouds as it went down
Made me wonder how it looked out the bathroom window, the clouds were fiery in the distance
In a horizontal line from the front with an orange glow in the centre
These photo's were taken back in August 2010 when I went to Banbury with my wife, we were only there for a few hours so only had a quick look around
Banbury Town Hall
Really stuck out this old wholesaler though it closed many years ago and is now an estate agent well at least it was then it could be anything now. The writing on the wall gives you an idea what they sold there all those years ago
The Fine lady on her horse which is based on the nursery rime
"Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
And she shall have music wherever she goes"
This is Banbury Cross
One of the main transport years ago was the Canal, this is the Oxford Canal, this part is beside the Castle Quay shopping centre
It is mostly used for leisure now though this cruiser looks like it is making a meal of things
and it gets busy
You have to open your own lock gates as well
That's it folks I must admit I would like to go back as there is a church there I'd love to look around

This week the Church Explorer returns to St Giles Church Noke, a lovely little church in the Oxfordshire Countryside. This week you can see what the church looks inside.
These are the photos I was going to post last week so I hope you enjoy them
I noticed the sun was setting from my caravan so I went out to get a few photos of the sky which looked great with the few dark clouds
The sun reflected off them as it went down
Then as I walked by the lake I noticed the reflection of the sky
The clouds reflected in the still water
While the sun settled behind the hills
The clouds lined along the lake
and the hills reflected too
A mirror image in the lake
Happy Skywatch
A week or so ago I popped over to Didcot to get some goodies from marks and Spencer's Food hall. I took the opportunity to look around this part of the centre and get a few photos
This part of the centre is relativity new being opened a few years ago with new shops. At the end you can see the M&S foodhall which is very popular but I noticed a couple of interesting shops there as well.
I walked up a side area where I noticed this place, I had heard there was an ice cream parlour here, just need to entice my wife out to try one, Next door is Nando's, I have never been in this one but when my son was at Uni it was one of the places he took me though I ended up paying.

This week the church Explorer returns to St Andrew's church in Oddington for photos of the inside, the church was a nice little one to visit The church was also the last resting place of Maggie Papakura
Bit late with this post but the photos were taken on Friday Morning (yesterday). I could not resist the sky's though I admit they were not what I had intended to post you will have to wait till next week
We took our dog for a walk and I really could not help myself not to take a photo of the sky and scenery
It's views like this that always lift my spirits
You forget all that is happening in the world
and enjoy the moment
This was the first photo I took in the morning and I really have not got a clue who the young lady is who was sitting having her breakfast
Happy Skywatch
It was quiet a memorable day for me so I thought I would go for a walk and my wife came with me on this little jaunt
One of the first things I noticed was this tractor and seed-drill parked up
The gulls were out in the field gorging themselves
On the other side I spotted this guy who I thought was the driver of the tractor but I think he was meta detecting
Really could not believe my luck seeing this steam train on the track
Looking back towards where I had come from
This field had been harvested
The way we had come, you can just see the church by the tree
And the way home through the Bullshole Tunnel, that's my wife nearly through
