Life in Oxford

Setting table for lunch


Granny bashing out an ugly drain

TARA demonstraing her wobbly tooth.


Luke and Richard. Ricard is mum and dad's builder from Newcastle who would stay for a couple of weeks at a time and build bathrooms, paint, pláster ,rearrange the front yard etc. He had a dry sense of humour and the kids adored him. His funny saying still live  on in our family repatoire : " None shall pass!" , "Too many persons " and " Now's the best time! "


Punting in the waterways around Oxford. A time honoured tradition.








....and pausing for a pint and a picnic with an old friend... Susan Harrison.


This is Lukey busting into the Bodleian library in Oxford, the most prestigious library ever...... And that day Lukey was in a running off and shriek mood :-)







Train journey to visit Jamie. Teacher Benton took this outing, Here he is explaining about staying behind the yellow line. The kids took it all on board and would warn fellow passengers, scooters and passing pidgons if they transgressed across it. "Stay behind the yellow line!!!"



Lazy Sunday with Leo and Charlene. Biking to Blenheim palace ground and playing on the underwater causeway  .
