Day one was a trip to Banbury shops and a drive down the M40 to Bekonscot Model Village. Beconscot has been around for 80 years, and features 1.5 acres of 1:12th scale models. Most importantly for James, it also includes over 10 miles (at 1:12th scale) of fully operational model trains. The railway layout even has its own switch box and control room. James was in heaven!
Day two was a trip by train to Oxford. We walked around the town, soaking up the atmosphere then spent some time around the college campuses. To be honest, I would have liked more time in the university precint, but there is only so much you can expect from the children. By the time we got back to Banbury, they were pretty tired. But 'respect' to them, they were troopers all throughout a very long day.
After Oxford we wrapped up with a quick dinner of fish and chips, then packed up the car and headed for our next stop, which is Wellingborough and its surounds.
