Steady on! We'll see what we can do, then - I'm sure I can find something in the cattle crossing!

I can find something in the cattle crossing! Is that a euphemism? |

For once, no!
Oxford appears first in documents as ye Oxenforde, thought to be the lowest place on the Thames where cattle could ford it. There's also Swinford and Shifford further up, referring to swine and sheep, though Duxford sadly seems to have been the duke's ford.

Oh, and the actual ford seems to have been somewhere in the vicinity of St Aldate's cop shop, the river has roamed over the centuries.

Oblox! I've just realised that the 30th is an event we go to every year, and SWMBOs sister is working on the other Saturdays for their Dad's 80th. Can people make 2nd weekend in October?

I definitely can't make it on 30th or 2nd week in October as I will be out of the country again. Which is a shame, but not one I'm too sad about in the circumstances.  |
