Oxford City

Wednesday 22nd December 2010

Went into Oxford today to have a look around the shops with my Dad and sister while waiting for Mum to finish work. We had coffee and bought some last-minute gifts for Dad (cds) while braving the snow and ice. It was really quite cold.

I really like Oxford as a city. It's not that big, but very old. The colleges that make up Oxford University are gorgeous. Today's photo is of one of the colleges in the snow with a Christmas tree in front of it. It's not too clear, as there's a wall in the way, but it is stunning.

The evening was once again spent quietly at home. Not doing anything much but sometimes it's nice to slow down a little.

Quote of the Day

"I wonder anybody does anything at Oxford but dream and remember, the place is so beautiful. One almost expects the people to sing instead of speaking. It is all like an opera."

- William Butler Yeats
