Les Clochards playing at the University of Oxford Botanic Gardens, Saturday 18 July 2009
July 11th, 2009Salut les copains
Les Clochards will be playing in the idyllic surroundings of the University of Oxford Botanic Garden on the afternoon of Saturday 18 July. It starts at 2pm, admission is just the price of entry to the Garden (£3 I think). Bring a picnic and hope for sunshine – if it rains we’ll be playing in the greenhouse among the chilli plants. Suggestions for flora- and fauna-related tunes most welcome – we’ll start the ball rolling with Love Me Tendril.
This is our last outing before the summer break – thanks to everyone who’s attended our gigs so far this year, it’s been a blast!

Hotels, B&B’s, Guest Houses – Whats the Difference?
June 29th, 2009A common question posed by holiday makers visiting Oxford Guest Houses is what makes it a guest house and not a hotel? An Oxford Guest House and an Oxford B & B are really one and the same. You generally pay for your room and breakfast. Some may also provide other meals.
The quality of rooms at Guest Houses in Oxford can vary considerably, as can the breakfast. The Remont Oxford has rooms you would expect to find in boutique style hotels, and the breakfast is outstanding with clean modern dining facilities.
So if you are looking for the best Oxford Guest House, B & B or Hotel then you should certainly check out the Remont Oxford.
