WFWI organised a day trip to Oxford. 3 of our members went and here is their blog:
On a sunny July morning three lovely ladies climbed aboard the coach to Oxford. We were excited for the city that promised gleaming spires, culture, beautiful architecture but mostly a sumptuous lunch. After the essential coffee stop, no cake (sad times), we jostled with the many foreign students to bag ourselves a seat on the open top bus tour. So much history and so many famous names have been educated worked, lived and left their mark on this wonderful city, a whirlwind of information but a great way to see and learn so much in a short time. After the very important luscious lunch we felt ready to take to the streets. A quick visit to an artists gallery was followed by a walk, peeking into beautiful gardens and grounds until we reached the picture perfect Bridge of Sighs, a corridor connecting two parts of Hertford college completed in 1914. We had time for a visit to a College and aptly decided on Worcester College. It didn’t disappoint, classic architecture and the prettiest of gardens, complete with serene lily pond, unbelievable that we were in the middle of a busy city. Ten minutes to kill before pick-up so we bundled into the Ashmolean Museum obviously no time for a full visit but still lots of lovely things to see around the foyer and open areas. A lovely day in a gloriously beautiful city, we even had the sunshine. Thank you Oxford, we’ll be back!! Comments are closed.
