✨ A Magical Day at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, near Oxford. If you want to experience dreamy rural gardens and the finest French cuisine then this is the tranquil retreat you're looking for. We recently stepped a little outside our usual comfort zone and spent the day at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons — and what a treat it turned out to be. 🦋 Our visit began with a wander through the incredible gardens, which were genuinely stunning. The first corner I turned offered a fantastic glance at the country house style building (Picture 1). The Far Eastern-inspired areas were especially peaceful, with bamboo, water features, and winding paths that made it feel more like a serene retreat than a hotel garden (Picture 2). I was surprised to come across a Japanese Tea Garden amongst it all (Picture 3). ⛩️ Every path I took led me to further surprises - including an Eastern inspired wooden bridge (Picture 4) and a Japanese Maple tree (Picture 5). It was the perfect way to ease into the experience, cocktail in hand and blistering sunshine filtering through the trees. 🍽️ We went for the 7-course tasting menu, and the experience was something special. Here are some of my highlights: 🐟 I tried caviar for the first time with the confit salmon — paired with dill, cucumber, cauliflower, and a wasabi crème fraîche that brought just the right kick. That dish really stood out and set the tone for the evening (Picture 6). 🥩 Another favourite was the baby rack of lamb. It was tender, full of flavour, and came beautifully plated with an aubergine flower, sugar snap peas, and a vibrant herb purée that brought everything together (Picture 7). 🍓 And for dessert — the strawberry tart was the perfect summery ending. Crisp, sweet, and fresh, with strawberry sorbet and crushed pistachios adding a lovely contrast of textures (Picture 8). Le Manoir is definitely on the fancier end of the scale, but if you’re looking for a peaceful escape with exceptional surroundings and some truly memorable dishes, it’s worth the splurge. #oxfordtrip #LeManoir #OxfordshireEscape #TastingMenuExperience #GardenWanderlust #FoodieFinds

Oxford is world-famous for its world-class universities and numerous historical sites, making it a city of dreams. Established in the 9th century, Oxford has a history of over 1,100 years and is the cradle of British royalty and scholars.    Oxford has been inhabited since the 7th century, and by 912 AD, it had become a key location in England. "Ford" means a crossing, where the Thames and Cherwell rivers meet. At that time, the water was shallow enough for oxen to cross, hence the name Oxford. The rivers remain, but the original bridges and oxen crossings have long disappeared. However, Oxford's bridges continue to attract visitors from around the world. Oxford University has a history of over 800 years and is the source of all universities in English-speaking countries like the UK and the US, enjoying a prestigious status worldwide. The streets of Oxford are bustling with traffic. Walking along these streets, you wouldn't realize you're on a university campus, as there are no gates or signs. However, the ancient buildings give a sense of the centuries-old culture and academic atmosphere. The streets around the city center are lined with medieval quadrangles, each representing a college. Since academia was a church monopoly at the time, the colleges were designed like monasteries, but often surrounded by beautiful courtyards, making them less dull. Each college resembles a medieval monastery, and the city is filled with tower-like buildings, earning it the nickname "City of Towers." We've seen those spires along the way. Here, you can see buildings from hundreds of years ago everywhere. The Bridge of Sighs (Figure 5) is indeed beautiful. It spans New College Lane, connecting the new and old parts of Hertford College. Designed by Sir Thomas Jackson, this bridge resembles the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, hence its name. Perhaps this is the only famous bridge without a river beneath it. Oxford

Sir of Oxford For those who study science and engineering, Oxford is somewhat to be respected but kept at a distance! However, the sword🗡️ on the ground makes me feel a bit of the knight's spirit. The dream and return of Harry Potter, another journey driven by words, including Mr. Qian Zhongshu's love and footprints. The children riding bicycles on the streets make me feel like I'm back in the days of Tsinghua. The face statues of the theater troupe made me stop for a moment~ In the city walking, meeting again, I somewhat understand the significance of the theater🎭 and Shakespeare's existence. The badges and inscriptions dazzled me, like history, like sorrow, like prosperity, like narration. Leaving the bustling streets, I unexpectedly encountered a Warhammer (a universe) game experience store that interested the child. It's hard to imagine, Oxford~ the empty streets, the transition between tranquility and noise is so simple. The memory of the martyrs of Bloody Mary coldly recalls the evolution of history. Henry VIII, the love-crazed father, and the Virgin Queen Elizabeth I, she is in between, is it a reversal or a transition?
