Punts!

Monday, 13 October 2008

Having spent most of our week in Cambridge mournfully staring at the canals through freezing winds and driving rain we finally got some extremely unseasonable sunny weather in Oxford and took the opportunity for a 'work outing' on the punts.  Cue six befuddled actors and two stage managers trying to navigate The Isis without falling in or getting so lost we missed the show.  Luckily neither happened and we had a great time taking in the beautiful scenery and racing our two punts (our boat won by the way, and there was certainly no underhand behaviour of tugging at each others' ropes or stealing oars).  Afterwards we rewarded our valiant efforts with a trip to 'Pieminister' in The Covered Market where we quite literally ate all the pies, so a perfect day all in all.  As Wolverine then pointed out - what could be better than a good pie and a punt?  Nothing much I reckon.  (Susie - ASM)
