Hey hope this is not getting too boring for you all but we are finding it a real problem getting our time filled. Went into Oxford today and visted a few places. Isn't it strange that when you live close to somewhere it is often the last places you visit. After 24 years in the area I at last get to visit the Oxford Botanical Gardens. The hot houses were interesting especially the one with the lilys. The outdoor gardens perhaps need a bit more attention but possibly the weather and time of year does not help. Also saw the Ansel Adams exhibition at Modern Art. For those of you who do not know he is possible the world's greatest black and white landscape photographer. Awesome pictures from the USA national parks. Also the Ashmoleum it was Kate's first ime there and probably last as it is very old fashioned and boring.
