Today it’s all about Blenheim Palace.
It is the only non-royal non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title
of palace;
it’s the birthplace of Winston Churchill and home to the dukes of Marlborough.

We’ve had a great walk to dinner in Oxford and have to say that the
atmosphere here is quite a bit different in that it is relaxed and doesn’t feel
full of tourists. We are a couple of
miles from downtown so that may change when we go exploring tomorrow.
Sending love R/P
