Abracadabra!
from Vancouver on Nov 27th
to Oxford on Nov 28th
(in no "sleeps")
After an easy flight in an only-one-third-full plane, Meo and Doco were met by Douglas at Heathrow. We gathered up our bags - my wee Zephyr harp flew fine in its hardish suitcase under "FRAGILE" - caught a bus immediately to the middle of Oxford, arriving in front of Christ Church College into the swirl of afternoon students and tourists. And there was Candy on her bicycle! We trundled down St. Aldate's Street, over the muddy Thames on the Folly Bridge (above), past several blocks of row houses, past St. Matthews church, and we were at home! Sunny and damp. A very liveable spot and SO close to the centre of this interesting old town of colleges.
P.S. Thomson hadn't yet pedalled home from his school and Candy took the photo, but all were here for our first supper. Just like times at 7th Avenue. How fine!
