Diane and I made our way
from the Sweet shop ..
Silk Tassel Bush.....which apparently is is a
common evergreen shrub native
How far are we from there???
Towards
and then to the
Bridge ..and the river,
just a bit further down,
as you can see
by the map.

crossed the road to the Botanic gardens
didn't go in, which we were pleased about, as
once we were around the back , we could see
lots of work going on , not many plants about at all..
Spring work taking place!
carried on to Rose Lane .. ..
down to the river ...
and then back towards the High Street !!
Ready for a coffee , a rest and then more sightseeing!!!!
Certainly a great day out with a good friend.
More to come yet though!!!!
Hope you enjoy the small tour too. ♥
this is such a historical place, walking there must be a real pleasure!
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
thank you Anne it's so nice to see on a dreary day like to day.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I like the boat ANNE
ReplyDelete@ Ola ... thank you for ♥ comment ...and coming here again .. very historical ..and brilliant on a sunny day!
ReplyDelete@ Lucy so pleased it cheered you up on a dull day over there, and well spotted about the little boat :-)
Lovely photos Anne and more great memories. I have some of my photos going up, and than I will disappear for a couple of weeks while I try to get my internet connection back in France. I spent 36 minutes on the phone to them today....... Hate to know what this phone bill will be! Take care Diane x
ReplyDeleteYour photos are very special, as always. I feel that I know Oxford a little bit now. I'm glad to hear that you finished off with a coffee, but it looks as if you had a marvellous day, and so good that the weather was so kind. Don't the daffodils look wonderful, and you just had to take a photo of that little boat with your name on, didn't you?! Lovely post Anne.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy the very little bit of Oxford the day I was there (13 years ago!) and really enjoyed the university. We shall do a walking tour when I come to visit, okay? :D

I haven't been there in a couple of years--it's so close to London, that I should go back for another visit. Thanks for the tour....

What a lovely day you had, part 2 was as lovely as part 1.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for you comment on my guest blog, I really appreciated it. x
I'm loving this wonderful stroll around Oxford with the two of you -
ReplyDeleteand that gorgeous rowing boat with your name.
Thanks for including the map Anne - a great idea. I visited there a few years ago and walked the High Street so I can sort of imagine your rambles.
Even more loveliness. Spring has certainly arrived there.
ReplyDeleteAll very charming and scenic, but I wouldn't have left the Sweet Shop!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place and fabulous tree! Glad you girls to get together~
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week Anne!

Here I am catching up after my FB comment :)
ReplyDeleteA virtual stroll around Oxford with you and Diane wish I could have joined you.
Beautiful Photos!
ReplyDeleteI love that boat photo so much. It has your name written all over it. m.
I liked the tour, Anne. So beautiful how the sun shines in your pictures, not to forget the blue skies.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely evening. We are expecting blue skies all week long, woo hoo xxxx
Thanks for stopping by Anne - pleased to "meet" you. We stopped off in Oxford on our way home from Southampton where I had met 2 bloggy friends. I had a great weekend. It is a lovely - and very busy city. We particularly liked "Pattiserie Valerie"!!!! xx
ReplyDeleteI've gone all nostalgic about daffodils now! x
ReplyDeleteHi Anne - forgive my mistake - I was doing it from memory - not a great idea when you get to this age!!! x
ReplyDeleteCiao Anne! how are you? What a lovely place, I'd like to visit it. The picture of the boat with your name is fantastic.
