Oxford in The Rain - Blooming Brilliant

It really didn't matter that it poured with rain. The train ride from London and the return were perfect - on time and very comfortable. Poor Brit Rail it seems that it's had to come up to EU standards - thank God!

Oxford colleges are just wonderful pieces of architecture. We look at so many I couldn't keep pace with what should be filmed. A very interesting experience and I can safley say I wouldn't have like the cloistered feeling that the colleges had - anyway I wouldn't have made the grade to get in any way so it would have never been a problem!

Oxford cathedral is magnificent. Small but very interesting as well as having that great feeling of being used daily.

Those of you who know "Alice in Wonderland" may also know that it was written by a don at Christ Church College. The Green Door into the Wonderland actually exists in a garden next to the cathedral as does the huge Horse Chestnut tree where the Cheshire cat sits.




All the Horse Chestnut trees were in full spring blossom - just lovely.
