Ashmolean opens tomorrow. North Parade refurbed
THE ASHMOLEAN museum opposite the Randolph Hotel opens tomorrow, I’m looking forward to browsing through it at my leisure.
See this piece on TGD, here.
If you’re in Oxford, check out the Pitt Rivers museum too – it’s full of strange strange things like poppets and shrunken heads.
No shrunken heads in North Parade, where I live. But they have widened the pavements in a strange chicane sort of way. No, I don’t work for the Oxford Tourist Board.

Only in Oxford: an occasional series
WE HAVE IT ON very reliable authority that when Al Murray tips up at Borders later this month, the resident landlord will not be unrelated to the landlord of the Rose & Crown on North Parade.
Oxford is always messing about with roads and pavements. Here’s a helpful piece of advice if you want to get run over on the crossing between the Randolph Hotel and the Ashmolean. It appears to be on the deck. ♣
