 Yesterday I went to Oxford on the train to meet my mum and Sue and Jane for the day! It was lovely and warm and sunny.

 This is Sue and Jane standing on the bridge. We are going up to visit Jane in Scotland in June. I can't wait to see Scotland! But I found out today that there won't be enough time to see the Loch Ness Monster, so now I wonder why we are going at all.

 Oxford is a stunning place. Especially in the spring! So good thing I went there in spring. 

 This is the Oxford Castle Mound...


 The prison at Oxford Castle has been turned into a hotel now! And apparently it costs looots of money to stay there. At jail. You have to pay to stay at jail... ?



 The blossoms are still out and the baby leaves are growing now in Oxford. It was much nicer this time than last time I came here. Last time it was too cold to take my camera out of my bag!



 This is Lewis Carol's garden at Christ Church College I mentioned in an earlier blog.


 This is the front of Christ Church College where Lewis Carol went to uni.



 This busker just stood with one foot on the rope and played the violin. As if playing the violin on the ground isn't impressive enough.

 I believe this is the entrance to the old Bodleian Library. Apparently the Bodleian isn't even the biggest library, The British Library in London is. According to the tour I was eavesdropping on. And also the Bodleian gets 5000 new books per week*!

 An old building.

 The Bodleian... ?

 This is the bridge the Oxford students cross to get to their exams.

Apparently this is the building where they filmed the Great Hall in Harry Potter!

*This may be a lie. The tour was quite far away at this point.
