Our crop of new potatoes in the Crisis courtyard garden was disappointing this year, but the giant lilies and the gazanias have given us some lovely cheerful blooms.

Enjoy a fast and flat 13.1 mile route through historic Oxford that kicks off from City Centre. You'll speed by world-famous museums, universities, parks and more on this one-of-a-kind run.
The course begins at Broad Street, near Trinity College and the Clarendon Building, and only gets more impressive from there. Among some of the incredible sights you’ll pass, take note of the charming village of Old Marston, the River Cherwell, Oxford University’s impressive Lady Margaret ...Hall, and finally finish in the scenic and serene Norham Gardens.

Homelessness is full of despair and disappointment. Crisis offer a smile and someone to listen.

We had a good lunch yesterday (5 June) at a reasonable price. Excellent concept that should be widely supported. Carrot cake by Chris was delightful; well done.
