I will bookmark this post and return to it often, because that's probably one of my favourite places I've ever visited, Oxford. I was there a few years ago and we took a bus tour, and got all the interesting tidbits. But due to the rain, we didn't have a chance to walk around that much or go inside individual buildings. I'd love to go back.Artihttp://rippleeffects.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512516523018627966.post-82351337495452003282013-05-12T15:23:04.445+01:002013-05-12T15:23:04.445+01:00Happy Birthday-looks like your daughters planned a...Happy Birthday-looks like your daughters planned a lovely birthday surprise.
