Around Christmas time last year, Amy and I went up to Oxford to meet her Dad to exchange gifts. I have only been to Oxford once before and I could barely remember the city as I was walking around. However it was like rediscovering it all over again. I’ll be up front about this, Oxford is beautiful!
Walking around I kept finding myself mouthing “this is so nice”. I am not sure why I was surprised, people rave about the place so much. I even have a few friends that live there and they are full of nothing but praise. I wonder if the reason for not visiting when I was growing up is due to where I am from. Originally from South East Kent, a town called Broadstairs, we had Canterbury nearby which was like our own old pretty city. I wonder if this made me feel like I didn’t need to see another one.
Whatever the reason, I feel like I have to go back. I think I only scratched the surface of what Oxford had to offer. I think I spotted at least a hundred pubs which I need to discover. I need to take my single speed up for a spin there too as everyone was happily cycling about.
I am not sure if the crisp air was getting a little too much for me but I was even thinking that I would like to live in a city like this!
Anyway, enough of my ramblings, let me know if you have anywhere in Oxford I should check out, as I am definitely going back!
You have a great eye for photographs!
Thanks very much 🙂
Zappi’s Bike Cafe – you would love it! The Modern Baker in Summertown is also awesome if you feel like a walk out there. Objects of Use is a must see for interesting ‘bits-and-bobs’ and the covered market behind there is perfect for some window shopping
The botanical gardens are fantastic if you haven’t been already. The greenhouses there are amazing. Love your work!
Thanks Allysa 🙂
I haven’t been to the botanical gardens but I will be sure to visit on the next visit 🙂
