…..and she’s back. Sorry being a ‘bad blogger’ these last two weeks. The garden wanted, and still wants, my full attention. Anyway, I’m back for the Sunday Selections, hosted by the lovely Kim from Frogpondsrock.
Yesterday it was the annual Oxford – Cambridge Boat Race Day. And guess what…. OXFORD WON!!!!!! (doing a happy dance now)
As a *cough* former Oxford student *cough* (I did a Summer course in Art History in Oxford, at Trinity College), I’m extremely proud of my boys. Thought I’d post some shots of Oxford for the occasion. I took these with my old point-and-shoot camera, while literally running (hence the blur and crooked angles) from college to college and from lecture to lecture, and they’ve been hanging around on my computer for years now.
And a fscinationg colleaction they make! Thank you...
ReplyDeleteI love the walled gardens - I want one! I guess I would need a wall though.....
ReplyDeletegardens, here with 3 feet of snow on the ground and snowed today, put your head under a pillow for another month
ReplyDeleteI too love the walled garden. Photographs of lovely old buildings send me into pleasant daydreams. I have a thing for old stone. Thanks for sharing Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteAh I love Oxford, I remember lobbing there years ago doing my 'gap year' as a Uni student. Didn't study there but had a peek. England looks so nice and lush in the summer.
ReplyDeleteThose buildings are quite delicious, and pretty darned good pictures for 'taken on the run'!!
ReplyDeleteOxford is so beautiful, wish I'd studied there, in those magnificent buildings... and yes the walled garden image is just divine.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad these photos were still hanging around in your computer. I once drove 'through' Oxford with a tour group, but didn't see anything as beautiful as what you've posted here, especially the walled garden. I can almost smell the lavender.
ReplyDeleteHow ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Oxford???
ReplyDeleteLook at the history! I'm gonna have to look up Oxford to see how old some of those buildings are.
ReplyDeleteYou, a bad blogger? Please. I give people re-runs every other time they show up, and then I don't visit them for weeks at a time. You, my dear, are positively magnificent by comparison.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots, by the way.
My husband doesn't understand my fascination with blogs some days. Today I told him I wandered by your blog frequently (which I love) because you take me to places I am unlikely to ever visit, and you speak in a language that is unusual for my ordinary life. (you and our pal in Turkey, now Hungary?). Also, though the world has determined our "great writers" and "great thinkers" and "great artists", I think there's a lot of that on blogs. You just have to find it. Thank you for sharing.
