In Oxford we stayed in one of the colleges - Lady Margaret Hall - in the student accommodation. That was a bit of a reminder of how soft we have become since we were at university. We did have a bathroom, but it was slightly smaller than an aircraft toilet but still managed to include a shower! We had a quieter time in Oxford, because Sue was attending a conference there.
