Once upon a time in Oxford

Once upon a time in 1997, a girl arrived in Oxford from Australia, on a one way ticket bought with the takings from her home garage sale. She took her suitcase (really!) on the No 1 bus from Carfax to Cowley and got off at the Tescos, making her way to her uni buddy living in Hurst Avenue, off the Cowley Road. The weight of the suitcase (and the accompanying sports bag full of lingerie) kept her distracted from the colour and grit of her new surroundings: the Cowley Road, the student ghetto of Oxford, the middle of motorsport valley.

This is where the journey began... The Cowley Road and Oxford captioned.
