Tried About 4 Times to Have a Break

I hate that roundabout near Oracle. I went through that like 3 or 4 times before I ended up in Caversham, decided to take a country lane instead of A329 to Oxford.

These roundabouts are SO scary, because; They don't have clear signs to say where to turn; Everyone goes SO fast; and once you get into a wrong way, you are in the middle of scary Reading one-way system, and takes forever to get back to give another try.

Anyway, so we spent about half an hour before giving up, and hitting the country lane, which turned out to be so beautiful. Then we came alongside the Thames with pretty villages, where the river was shining in nice end-of-May sun.

We went to Oxfordshire for some ancient trekking, which was really quite rough on my Triumph because we got lost so many times and had to turn around in the oddest places, and as a result my exhaust fell off. The return journey was deafeningly noisy one.

But all in all it turned out to be such a nice break. White Horse on the hill side, made out of chalk was just so pretty. We sat in its head and watched a brown sheepdog run around two ladies with daisy chains on their heads.

Even the 99p cheese burger from the garage was divine after nice walks.
