A day in Oxford

Finally... we made it to Oxford. after living up the road for years, we never actually went here... till now. We took a hop on hop off bus around the   town to orientate ourselves first. We lucked out with a fabulous' live' tour guide, who had verbal diareah - all fascinating facts and figures though. 

Sigh.. Went to one of the oldest bookstores and could have stayed the whole day. 

Waddesdon Manor

Age and I had been here many years ago, but to be honest, National Trust places sort of meld into each other aftera while.

Frazer walked us to the top of the entrance.. The place you turn the corner and are presented with expansive lawns and a French  Manor to rival any other. Breathtaking in its grandeur and particularly beautiful because its fully furnished with dated pieces. Most of it was rescued from the revolution and smuggled to England by the Rothchild family. 

I'll post these photos which really don't do it justice..

Lazy Sunday Afternoons

How delightful to sleep in and the laze the day away.

I love how the cousins have been playing so beautifully.
