What does it look like?

Actually, it's rather pretty and very family friendly. The fantastic weather has certainly helped us all settle in.

Here is a picture of Banbury Town Hall (click to view it better). Banbury is apparently famous for two things, the Banbury Cross (with associated nursey rhyme), and the Banbury Cake."width:

The nursery rhyme goes something like 'Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross to see a fine lady upon a white horse.. yada yada'. Apparently my mum and grandfather used to recite it to me, but honestly I don't remember a damn thing.

Banbury Cake is a scone-like concotion full of fruit which my wife says is quite decent. Strangely enough, one of the town's newspapers is named the 'Banbury Cake'.

Here are some pictures of the Banbury Cross (basically it has become a very flash roundabout).
