Oxford

Mum and Dad's first ride on the London Underground (since the last time they were in London, of course):

Catching our train to Oxford from Paddington Station, with it's now-familiar bear:

At the Bodleian Library:

Someone was burned at the stake here. I think it was a Protestant, funnily enough.

A well earned lunch break at the Turf Tavern:

The spires, the spires!

Beautiful fields outside Christ Church College:

They filmed the Harry Potter dining room scenes here...

In the chapel at Christ Church College:

Tourist pics with Mum and Dad

"Waterloo Sunset" - The Kinks



Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine
