It was time to frock up, don a hat/fascinator, and drinks lots of champagne. The mix for a perfect day! I even saw the queen when she arrived, and watched a few horse races :) Loved it! Was a very long day... caught the train at 10 (and had our first glass of champagne) and dropped into bed about 11pm that night - very sore feet. Was worth it though. And the weather (even though it was summer) was quite chilly but luckily the rain held off.
Olga, Naiomi, Charlene, Lisa and I all ventured off to oxford for the day on Sunday 7 June 2009. It was a very early train (especially seeing as I was home extremely late following the day trip to Hampton Court the prior day. Oxford is so amazing... in the morning we spent 3hrs on a walking tour around the various college campus's - immaculate gardens, spectacular old chapels, libraries and accomodation. It nearly made me want to go back and study... well maybe not quite.
We then headed to a quaint little pub for a sunday roast followed by further wandering around the town... and of course desert at a wonderful little bakery. Followed by the train trip home - what a weekend.. absolutely exhausted.
Great place! Now I need to go to Cambridge for the day to compare.
