Dreaming Spires and all that...

Arrived in London after a seamless trip with Emirates... picked up the car and drove straight to Oxford.   A bit eerie arriving at midnight and picking our way along the gravel walkways of the university.  Needless to say in spite of good efforts we still woke up at 5.00am.  Don't you just love jet lag!

Spent the day drifting.. organising phone cards and LOVING the buildings.

It didn't take us long to pick up the ambiance of Oxford. 

So its a town of historical buildings, tradition, graduates, pubs, black pudding and of course bicycles...

Watched the filming of Lewis...

Then off to Exeter College for a medieval music concert.... Bliss!  Loved the overheard tales of "When I was up at Oxford, I had a suite of rooms and two servants you know.  Portuguese... of course!"

Finished the night at Jamie's Italian.  Phew!  Great day.  And of course as you can see from the first photo Roger even got time to do a sketch or two!

Night, Night!
