Bilbert's Adventures part the Fourth part 1 - Exploring the City

Hello All,

Today was sightseeing day in Oxford

This is Bonne Square which has a war memorial and some beautiful bronze book statues






I found this shop selling lots of Britishing themed goodies and a stunning floral display













Oxford is full of little alleyways full of interesting sounding places





and beautiful houses






not to mention architecture. I think the sandy stone goes very well with my colouring




This is the Martyr's Memorial in St Giles. One of them is Bishop Hugh Latimer, Naomi's ancester
