Christmas in Oxford

This year we spent a quiet Christmas in Oxford, just Athol and I. The weather has been cold - grey with rain most days. The "sun" rises about 8am and sets at 4pm so the days seen so short!

We decided to go to into town today, had a fun day pottering around. Although there were tourists, it was relatively quiet. Most students and admin staff go home for the holidays. It also gave me a chance to try out my new hobby... photography :) with Athol as my model!

 

 

 

 

Athol by The Bridge Of Sigh by his college - Hertford College

 

 

Most places were closed - the covered market, Bodleian Library, Museum of History of Science so we spent some time at the MCR at Hertford College. We had lunch at one of our favourite spots All Bar One, even did a crossword (we do at least one crossword a day!).

We also saw the notorious Rhodes Statue outside Oriel College in High Street. #RhodesMustFall
There's been so much controversy over this statue.
