Oxford - the home of C.S. Lewis, Tolkien and the dreaming spires

From Aberdeen I went directly to Oxford. My hopes of warmer weather have been dashed but it is wonderful to be here nevertheless. The Bonnicis have been so welcoming and took me on a C.S. Lewis tour in Oxford finishing at the Eagle and Child which is the pub that the Inklings used to meet at every Tuesday to discuss their writings. They also drove me around on a tour of some local villages. Despite the cold and rain I have love Oxford. Walking around the cobbled streets has been so much fun and thank you to those people who gave me some good ideas of places to visit.

Oxford is a very beautiful city and I am looking forward to going to the museum tomorrow and doing some more walking. I went for my first run this morning and enjoyed it so much that I will try to do it every morning I am here. I might give Wednesday a miss because the forecast is for snow. Yes snow. Again I am impressed by my brilliant packing - I brought four t-shirts, bathers and no coat.

Below are some photos of my travels so far...
