Oxford – the “City of Dreaming Spires” – is a beautiful place, as we all found out on Saturday when we took two coach-loads on a day trip. It was a lovely day again (we’re getting good at booking nice weather for our trips!) and the guided walking tours of the city with which we started our day were very informative and interesting. We got a good overview of the university town from the guides, and were able to look around pretty Brasenose College. Following that, people went their own separate ways and explored the market, the museums or climbed one of the towers to get a view of the whole town. We met up for tea and coffee together later in a church building which was a well-needed break from all the sight-seeing and a good chance to chat with new and old friends! We’re now looking forward to our trip to Cambridge in May so that we can compare the two famous university towns…Click here to view photos from this trip.
