COTSWALDS & OXFORD

With the prospects of good weather for the early May Bank Holiday Long Weekend, we hired a car and set out to see the Olde English Villages of the Cotswalds. On our way home we dropped into Oxford to see what the students were up to.

Claire enjoying the countryside views
A couple of stag's put on a good display, although I think they were just fooling around
We saw lots of sheep and lambs
Lots of nice scenery to photograph
If only I had the bigger zoom lens...


Oxford
Well, Oxford is a university city, and apparently the exam period was very close. This young chap seemed to be in a hurry to start revising given his armful of textbooks.
The Christ Church College dinner room. A little more formal than our time at Cromwell College in Brisbane. I don't think the lanterns would have lasted long at our formal dinners.
A quote to live by....
