An evocative post that epitomises Oxford as much as Dreaming Spires.
Good one.

By the way, Hello in Greek is Sherete.

The picture of the ounts reminds me of the years I spent punting in Oxford more tha forty years ago. But I loved every moment and it is now a world away.

Thanks for the memory

Ah .. Oxford! I've been to Cambridge many times, but only passed briefly through Oxford - it looks just as beautiful but in a different way. Love the punts!

Thank you for taking part in ABC Wednesday! I hope you'll post again next week. :)

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars.

What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?
