Hi everyone and welcome to my fourth video of my time in Oxford. This video is set around my time at the Victoria Arms pub and the Bridge of Sighs. I hope you enjoy.
After having looked after my mum for some 11 years she is now unfortunately in a nursing home. I'm afraid her dementia worsened as did her physical capabilities. UPDATE: My mum died from Covid-19 on the 6th May 2020. So, for the first time in 21 years I find myself no longer caring for anyone. Apart from my mum I was also a single parent to two children and also looked after my dad who had Alzheimers, (he died in 2005).
So, I have decided to return to University to try and get another degree this time in English Literature. (My other degree I got some 30 years ago is one in Ecological Science). After a year at college I have passed all grades and now will start Edinburgh University in September 2019. I am now in second year having passed all the requirements in first year.

Thanks for the video, matey. I noticed the house with blue plaque at 3:50 and determined it is Cromwell’s House, 17 Mill Lane, Marston. The Morse clip from ‘The Remorseful Day’ is great.
The final episode of Lewis, ‘What Lies Tangled’, was just shown in the US. Kate McMurdoch has a room near the Bridge of Sighs.

Oh Maria thank you so much for the lovely comment. My intention all along was to allow people who might never get the chance to visit Oxford to see it from a ‘real’ view other than just through the television shows.

Hi Steve. Very well spotted. I did intend to stop and check it out on the way back from the Victoria Arms but forget. Thanks for letting me know.
