I mentioned on Wednesday's Medley post that I hoped to get an Anglophile Friday post up this week. This is not by any means a travelogue, and we did not start in Oxford, but I thought I'd post these few photos of shots here and there around Oxford for today's post. Later I'll have photos of Christ Church Cathedral (of which you probably think you've already seen far too many, if there is such a thing).
Just a little aside, but I realized that it's February 1, which means our winter is about a third over. That is very good news! We're a little sick of the -30 F air temps.
I hope she doesn't mind.
Did you know that in 'Mary Poppins', the woman feeding the birds was named 'Tuppence Sabag'? (Our daughter had a friend who thought that. Isn't that cute!)
These last shots are of the Great Hall at Christ Church College, Oxford University. Evidently this was a main filming location for the Harry Potter movies.
That's all for now, but we'll get back to Oxford eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Have a great weekend, everyone. Stay warm, all of you in the Upper Midwest!

My first thought was...that's a CHURCH? WOW! Beautiful photos! And I hope those temps have started to rise. (should I tell you that it was 73 when I hiked this afternoon...no that wouldn't be polite!lol) HUGS!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to see your London photos as they bring back lots of memories. Hope you are staying warm! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove all these photos, hope to get there one day as well. :-) Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jill
It's great that you have these wonderful photos to peruse while you endure those bone-numbing temperatures! Warm memories to inspire!
ReplyDelete'Tuppence Sabag' is perfect. :)
Loved seeing the inside of Christ Church Hall. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteTuppence Sabag is very self-absorbed, isn’t she? (Singing so much about herself.) Yes, that is cute. As a child, I used to be so confused about names. Oh well, sometimes I am confused even now.
ReplyDeleteLove that post box!
I’d like to know what the lady is purchasing.
Love them all! Thank you for sharing them with me.
ReplyDeleteJudy, You have the best photos. I love the shop trimmed in blue on the door and window. That vine looks creepy without leaves. The things you have seen ….I love seeing them on your blog. Blessings, stay warm. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here in the east as well. -30 Windchill's.. Not as much snow though. Thank heaven.. We will be up to 50 next week for a couple of days. This weather is crazy. I love sharing your travels.. especially the architecture.. Thanks for sharing. Cute post box. I hope you're having a good weekend.
