white_hart in the café in Blackwells – I thought this was a bit risky, but she assured me her books-habit is fully met by the various Oxfam bookshops around town!
It was a glorious afternoon – tee-shirt weather (it seems so long ago!) - so I decided to go down to Christ Church - known as “the House” [of God]. Within the college is the cathedral for the diocese of Oxford.
(Tip for alumni of Oxford: your “alumni card”, which you can get from your college if they haven’t sent you one – or several! – could get you in free: well, mine got me in free. I would assume that this is the same for every college, but I haven’t tried it yet.)
The route around the college is prescribed – basically, “tourists this way”. I can’t think when I last – if I ever – went around the college (as opposed to popping in to see friends in their rooms). It was beautiful.
I took lots of pictures…
…And this is the view out of the back door…
