UntitledAngela & Nicole McMaster It's great being back on the road again - heaps of adventures seen some amazing places, done loads of touristy things, had some great laughs at myself, met a million fantastic people and made lots of really good friends! NB. There are heaps of photos, but make sure you have a look through them. As for the rest, I know there's a lot of writing so I don't expect you... Read Full Entry

Tudor style buildings

Oxford, England

Gargoyles of Oxford

This one is a modern gargoyle, but they look great on all the buildings. Oxford, England.

A working gargoyle

Gargoyles were originally designed as a decorative drain-pipe for the buildings (so when the water is running through their mouths they make a gargling sound - hence the name). Oxford, England.

Tour Guide inside Keble College

One of the colleges that makes up Oxford University. Oxford, England.

Student dining hall - Keble College

Friday to Sunday are 'Formal' meals and the students are all to get dressed up for them. (reminds me of the Harry Potter movies) Oxford, England.

Getting around Oxford

2000 bicycles are recorded to venture in and out of Oxford city everyday - it's the best way for everyone to get around. Oxford, England.

Another College

I forget the name of this one though, but it looks so well kept! Oxford, England.

The Famous Turf Tavern

This tavern has a lot of history to it. (I liked their motto for the students! An Education In Intoxication!!) Oxford, England.

The Sheldonian Theatre

Oxford, England.

The Radcliffe Camera

600,000 books underneath the square. And that's just one of the libraries in Oxford, England.

The riches college in Oxford

Only the elite and invited go to this college (mostly seniors). It isn't just any college, most people who go there are already very well educated - no undergraduate courses offered. Oxford, England

Alice's shop - Where she used to buy her candy!

The original Old Sheep Shop from Lewis Carroll's Through The Looking-Glass. Alice in Wonderland is based on his real-life inspiration Alice Liddell. Oxford, England

Me at Pembroke College

I went to 3 of the 39 Colleges, too many if you ask me, but it would've been nice to walk away with a certificate.... Oxford, England.

There was no Angela

All the boats had names, but mine wasn't there so I didn't have a go ;-) Oxford, England.

View from Magdalen Bridge

Very pretty. The canals - Oxford, England

Poor guy!

Punting down the canal. Oxford, England.

Ducks and ducklings

(I sat watching them for ages, so it's only right to dedicate a photo to them) Oxford, England

Punting boats at Magdalen Bridge

Oxford, England.

High Street

Oxford, England.

Lord's Cricket Ground

Pity a match wasn't on, but we had a good look around anyway. London, England.

Bowling to Louis Leman!!

thought I might give him a bit of Aussie competition! Lord's Cricket Ground. London, England.

Hi, I love that photo (and the others too)!! I´m from Germany, so I will probably never get to see this, but please, could you tell me anyway where you took that picture? The Wind in the Willows has given me a wonderful friendship (with one of the main cast :)) and is very special to me! Thank you very much :)

Wind in the Willows
Hi Anke, yes! Wind in the Willows is wonderful isn't it!?! It was created/produced in Manchester so they have a large exhibition in the art gallery there with all of the original character models. If you ever visit the UK I would definitely recommend a visit - Manchester is a great city too! Wind in the Willows brings back so many memories... :)
