Well we are on the very last stage of our fabulous journey. We arrived in Oxford by bus on Thursday afternoon. We took a taxi from the bus station to our lovely little flat and met the owner, Karen, who showed us around. It's a 2 bed roomed flat and it is lovely. It backs on to a little tributary of the Thames and it is very beautiful.
We've had swans and ducks come for breakfast and there are assorted mobiles so GG is very happy. She reckons she's only seen about 30 cats in the whole time we've been away. Thousands of dogs, however!
On Friday we walked into Oxford and wandered about looking at all the magnificent buildings. It is a very beautiful city but very crowded.
We went to the Alice Shop where Alice from Alice in Wonderland bought her lollies when she was a little girl. It now just sells a whole lot of Alice in Wonderland souvenirs and memorabilia.
Yesterday we had a much quieter day. We went for a lovely walk along the river in the same area as Lewis Carroll punted and picnicked with Alice and her sisters. It was very pretty with lots of boats, ducks, geese, butterflies and even a cat who lived on a narrow boat.
We have been having a more relaxing time in Oxford as we can please ourselves about when we get up, get dressed, go out or not etc. we are winding down I think. We only have 3 more days and then we will be making our way to Heathrow for the long trip home.

So glad you're back on the air. Oxford looks lovely ! Relax & take it easy 'coz it's back to the real world soon. We've all missed you both & are happy you've had such a lovely time. Look forward to seeing you soon.
ReplyDeleteThe photos look great. I'm so glad you are having a relaxing time. I'm assuming GG isn't thrilled by all the phones (mobiles) but is thrilled by the moggies ???? Could be wrong......
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it will be great to have you both at home and I'm sure you will enjoy being in your own bed and getting up when you please....not coz the cleaner is coming or coz you have to get on a bus or plane.....
Have a safe trip home and I hope you both have books to read and spend much of the journey fast asleep.....
See you very soon. Xxxxx
