Exploring Winchester

I’ve been to the opticians today to pick up my new glasses.

This alley next to God Begot House- see yesterday’s Blip for its history leads to the Royal Oak pub.

The Royal Oak is the earliest building in England to house a bar, with parts of the pub dating back to 1002 when it was residence of Queen Emma. It's earliest reference as a pub dated 1390-1430. And I didn’t realise that it was that old

In the afternoon I’ve sat and relaxed in the garden.
