We're talking about the artist/designer/poet etc, not the car manufacturer (although we did see some Morris garages in Oxford). The
other William Morris is the father of the Arts and Crafts Movement, or at least a big driver of the style.
That's his "Oak Leaf" wallpaper. Dreamy. Here are some photos of his country home in Kelmscott.
The three hole privy; you had to be very good friends to use this.
Manor Farm; our accomodation for the night next to Kelmscott Manor. It was run by a young housewife, Emma.

On our way again. Today is another long stretch: 13.5 miles to Wallingford, so we must be off. Ta ta!
Long day! I hope it's your last one of that length. Looks like easy footing, though.
