Wildlife in Oxford

Whilst I was granny sitting Geoff moved from Aristotle Bridge down to the end of the canal.  

This was however after he had an evening with Maffi and Susan..........who just appeared at Aristotle Bridge.   I gather it was a good evening and Geoff was up way past his bedtime!

I arrived back on Saturday to find Boe had already arrived and was busy trying to buy up all of Oxford.   I think this was her first visit to Oxford and she was quite impressed.  Later in the afternoon she and I took Barney across the meadow for his afternoon walk which was full of tourists enjoying the sunshine but also full of cows....very benign cows luckily.   Boe appeared enchanted by the cows and took many photographs!!

Its Cygnet time of year...another of her pictures.

Geoff and I tried a new church this time.  We went to Sung Eucharist at St Frideswide`s.  Smallish congregation but highish Anglican.......just a pity they didn`t choose better hymns!!  We wee most impressed by one gentleman who was there on his own with his 3 children.....twins of 6 months and a toddler of about 3.  They all sat in the children`s space and we hardly heard a peep.

We would have liked to follow this with a walk over  Port Meadow to the Perch for Sunday lunch but were not enamoured of their price for this   £17.95....you can tell we are in the Thames Valley!   Instead we decided to treat ourselves to all sorts of M&S snack goodies and we took a picnic to the meadow instead.   

Onward tomorrow but not sure how far yet......we will see what the weather brings
