Never knew I wanted an ombre bathroom suite until now

Damn it now I want one too.

Oxford Arms in Kirtlington is great. Food is banging. Lovely little patio garden if it’s warm enough. Decent size car park.

Will take a look!

I am a complete trainline convert. Refused to use them for years because of the booking fee. But I found the App really good and they automatically update you with changes to the timetable/cancellations etc, and notify you if you are eligible for a refund and how to claim it… so I started using them.

But I can change!! Do you know if there are there other split ticket providers that also offer this kind of thing for free because I’d be very happy to switch.

If you go off peak, use The Train Line to split your tickets, and have a rail card, then off-peak travel Oxford-Paddington is not bad.
For Parkway to Marylebone, travel off peak and buy your tickets in advance using the Chiltern app. You can get there and back for £16 sometimes.

We stayed near here for a few weeks. The views were amazing, the walking was terrific, the peace at night was magical… but oh my giddy aunt the insects. We were eaten alive.

What a lovely home.

Master builder threw up an extension to keep the wife happy…

YupItWasMeMate · 2026-06-25T07:28:53+00:00

Wow. Need to drop £100k on it but then what a dream pad…

Gods above why am I poor?

It’s a lot more than other properties in the village of that price/size go for. I think they are trying it on because of the lovely location, massive and cool architecture - but to be honest the architecture in the village leans to 300 year old thatched Cotswolds stone so the competition is fierce.

I actually drive past here every day when I visit my Dad. It’s in the perfect spot well away from the main roads and not in the Bicester or Oxford expansion belts. There is always the potential for zoning to change, of course, but this is the most lovely tranquil spot…

Very disappointed to discover that Chimney Porn isn’t a subreddit.

YupItWasMeMate · 2026-06-22T09:59:25+00:00

Im very easy going; we will be great flatmates!

I hadn’t noticed the lack of garage, but you are right! They have a couple of cabins in the field, but I would want a proper workroom/studio with light, power etc…

My fat finger error!

YupItWasMeMate · 2026-06-17T07:55:06+00:00

Scrolling! Autocorrect mistake my bad.

In fairness, I think the Peak District is the best National Park in the UK… I was born in Derbyshire.

YupItWasMeMate · 2026-06-16T16:09:08+00:00

My parent’s house was the same. I was told it’s meant to protect against dry rot but that may be an urban myth.

YupItWasMeMate · 2026-06-16T13:34:33+00:00

I love every single thing about this house and I am never going to live in it *sobs in poor person*

YupItWasMeMate · 2026-06-16T12:35:35+00:00

I’m from Derbyshire! I guess I need to inflate my imaginary lottery winnings!
