Stowe Gardens

Lots of changes has happened at Stowe in the twelve or so years since we have been. Wonderful visitors centre and cafe, with a long winding wander up through the gardens to the house.. Still beautiful.. And being a weekday, we had it nearly to ourselves. 

Evensong at Christ Church in Oxford

Gorgeous voices from heaven..

So enjoyed the service and atmosphere.

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.
