Christ Church Meadow and Regents Park

An unusual combination. I took a young friend to Oxford for the day - took a look around the city centre, colleges, the Ashmolean Museum but in particular I fancied a walk around Christ Church Meadow to take some photos of the college across the partly flooded meadow. What I hadn't taken into account was that the paths would also be partially flooded - basically just a series of puddles. My young friend was not amused having worn smart clean trainers for a city walk. Anyway, I got some nice shots.

I also took him to my old college - me in Canterbury Quad

Anyway, the lad said he was under the weather a bit so we returned to London early afternoon. (He said he had enjoyed the time, just was not well, and I will take that as true. I am vain enough to want to believe it!)

So with an unexpected bit of afternoon and some sunshine to enjoy I popped into Regents Park.

I almost timed it perfectly. Almost. Nice weather in the park, but as I left it started to tip it down with a ten minute walk to Warren Street still ahead of me. Through some of the office blocks that have recently sprung up around Euston.

Then home to cook dinner and watch Coventry v Middlesbrough on ITV 4. 

Coventry 3 Middlesbrough 1. Great day!
