One week on from The Store hotel opening in Oxford, I called in for a catch-up with general manager Simon Drake.
He confirmed that members of the public, and paying guests, have given the new hotel a warm welcome.
It won't be long now before we start to see a few celebrities booking in to the building on the site of the former Boswells.
The hotel's main restaurant Treadwell is up and running, and serving delicious food and the rooftop terrace is well worth a visit for the stunning views of the dreaming spires.
I was disappointed to hear that Abingdon Air & Country Show has been postponed for admin reasons, according to the organisers.
It's an excellent annual event and I hope it can go ahead in the autumn.
Have a good weekend!
