Susan and dad took a bus into London to see the Last Night at the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Alan and Ed went to Wolverhampton to a soccer (football) match, and I spent the afternoon and evening walking all over Oxford.
It’s Open Doors weekend, which means most of the colleges were open to the public and many things that normally have fees were free. My favorite stops were the library at Manchester College (I just happened to stumbled on a library tour, otherwise wouldn’t have known about it!) Exeter College, and a wooden door at St Frideswide Church, which was carved by Alice Liddel of Alice in Wonderland.
Then I did a ghost tour (Bill Spectre) which was amusing and got some great evening shots of the city.
Met up with Ed Barbara, Alan, Tiffany and Iain for dinner at the King’s Arms – had venison and wine pie 😋 and a couple of pints of ale, then walked down some dark alleys to the Turf pub for whiskey, going from a 600 year old pub to an 800 year old pub. Walked almost 10 miles today! Dad and Susan enjoyed the proms, didn’t get back until 2am. – Linda
