This Way For A Great Milkshake

Sometimes the best places in Oxford are a little hard to find, and although most of us local's know where these stores or places are, visitors to Oxford might miss them, so you need a pointer to help you out.  Shakespeare's in Oxford is one of those places that you might miss if you are staying on the well trodden path of Cornmarket, they make the best milkshakes, and they are a local business.

Why Shakespeare's, well the store is located in an area called the Golden Cross, and it has been rumoured that William used to say in the Coaching Inn that was originally in this area on his way from Stratford to London.

Posting Box Refurbished

The main Post Office in St Aldate's has a very unique looking post box, which has the sign above, "Posting Box" It had fallen in to a bit of disrepair and was recently removed and taken away to be refurbished. I noticed it was back in place this afternoon looking very good indeed. I have never seen a post box like this anywhere before in my travels, can anyone else remember seeing a box like this?
