    MWO World Tour Part II-Piglet!

    I'm only now beginning to realise how much there is to see and do in and around Oxford and I've been living here for two or three decades. So far, piglet and I have barely scratched the surface. More outings to come, as and when I can manage them.

      Thank you molly.

      I waited AGES for people to disappear out of sight so I could take pics of piglet without looking like a pillock! :upset:

            when I win the lottery, I am coming the Europe for months to tour and study the history.
            Gorgeous, gorgeous.
            How do they get the lawns all criss-crossy when they mow?? I have always wanted to do that with my teeny yard
            I love my family more than alcohol.:h

Every year thousands of people gather on and around the bridge on May Day to hear the Magdalen College choristers singing Hymnus Eucharisticus at 6am. It has long been a tradition for May Day revellers to jump off the bridge into the River Cherwell below. The river is not very deep and there have been some horrific injuries as a result, including broken limbs and paralysis.


                Lovely pictures, Reccie. That is just dumb tho' jumping off a bridge into a shallow river. Just saying.........

                This is the college, looking towards the bridge.

                I think Piglet looks very casual indeed.

                We walked around the grounds and saw deer in the Grove:



                Reccie stuck me in a tree so he could take a pic of me in front of the Great Tower:
                I did that with both Tigger and Piglet - stuck them in various fruit trees...

                I am truly enjoying the many shades of green in your pictures. And it looks like you had a great day weather-wise. That sky is every bit as blue as it could get...


                Reccie - do you find yourself talking to Piglet? Cause I did. Nattered on to both Tigger and Piglet and Miss K, like they were going to answer me back. But then I talk to Freddie all the time as well and he never answers me....

                  And, lastly, we viewed a pretty flower border next to the New Building Lawns:

                  Yet another lovely picture - I have a great weakness for flower borders. I had one all around our house in Canada and I have to admit that it is one of the things that I still miss after all the years here.

                  I so enjoy seeing pictures of those beautiful old buildings.

                  Yep, that's what I told you before Piglet even arrived. When you look at the area you live in, taking into consideration what others might find interesting, you discover so many little patches of beauty that you'd never really seen until now. It gives you a new appreciation of your little corner of the world.

                  Oh heck, I just took pictures and didn't give a fat rat's clackers about what anyone thought. Not like I was ever going to see them again. I even asked the sales girl in this one posh boutique if Tigger could sit on the lap of one of the mannequins in the window. She probably thought I was raving mad but it was worth it to get another good piccie for the MWO World Tour.

                  Reccie, again, great pictures and thank you.

                              Hello! I know this is the Piglet thread but Happy from the Undies was so kind to send us the "missing" Miss K's sister that we just had to share a few pics.:H

                              A happy surprise from Australia.
