Well jubilee weekend is over and I have mixed feelings about the past four days I would never call myself a Royalist but can see the appeal of the Monarchy and what it means to millions of people. To me it is irrational that so much is made of a family, but who am I to comment?

I would say, however, that I'm sure when Prince Phillip was taken to hospital he didn't have to wait three hours in A and E. There was a brilliant feelgood factor about the past few days - akin to New Year's Eve. Unfortunately today was back to normal. Food prices going up, unrest at airports and traffic jams on the way home to Norfolk.

We went to Oxford for a look round. Maybe I wasn't in a city visiting mood but I didn't enjoy the place. There was something about it. To me Cambridge is more picturesque. Oxford smacks of ripoffsville with charges to visit any of the colleges and to visit Christchurch (on which Harry Potter was based) costs something ridiculous like £8.50. You would need a healthy bank balance to visit all the colleges.

Did manage to have coffee in a coffee shop which was featured in the evening's version of the Lewis detective series.
