Oxford

Today I went to Oxford to visit Daniel.  It was so good to see him, even though he's only been back there a week!  We had a lovely lunch and chat, a little walk around Oxford, then he cycled off to get back to studying.

No studying for me, so I headed off in search of the cows in Christ Church meadows instead!  I walked by the river, then started to walk by the stream back towards town and suddenly caught a glimpse of a blue and realised it was a kingfisher!   I was so excited, and couldn't believe my eyes, as I hadn't seen a kingfisher since I was a child.  It was perched on a branch for minute and I was desperately trying to get photos of it, which are all a bit rubbish, fuzzy and out of focus...but I might not see another for 30 years!  I was cross though, when a man, who looked like a gardener came along in his loud, little vehicle and frightened it away.  It made my day though and I'm sure Daniel won't mind me putting a picture of a kingfisher on here, instead of him!  (I'll pop him in my 'extras'!)

Many apologies for lack of comments., ..hope to catch up later!
