Oxford

On yet another sunny day we headed into Oxford, both to sightsee and catch up with my good friend Emma. The City of Dreaming Spires didn't disappoint and as well as the amazing historic buildings we saw many bicycles with baskets, gown-clad students (it was graduation day in some colleges) a plethora of punts and lots of straw hats!

Only bearded intellectuals beyond this point! 

Exploring the colleges...

Classic gargoyles

The classic Oxford punt! Just lacking a straw hat...

A pleasant stroll in Christchurch Meadows

Dreaming spires across the meadows!

Straight out of Harry Potter?!

We sneaked in for a glimpse of "Real Tennis" the so-called sport of kings that is second only to cricket in its mind boggling rules! 

One of many colourful side streets...
