This will have to be brief because it is very late and we have early breakfast before pick up to Heathrow. I will try to embellish at airport if I can.
Today we had full English breakfast at the hotel then walked to the bus station to take the London-Oxford Tube. It was 1 3/4 hr ride--through gorgeous country NW of London. It was a sunny blue sky with puffy cloud day! PTL
When we got to Oxford we took another Hop on-Hop off tour bus. When we got to Christ church we hopped off and walked around the cathedral, and the grounds. Lovely gardens and wonderful aromas. My Mother's love for English gardens came to surface and I started telling Bekah more than she wanted to know 
about the plants and tree's. I never knew that maiden hair ferns bloomed. She was commissioned to take some photos for me. The lavender aroma was wonderful! When the doors were opened at 2 PM we were of the first to enter so we went to the Dining Hall first to see where the Harry Potte
r film was shot. Then the cathedral was spell binding. The stained glass windows are magnificent. I wish we could have come early to the service and heard the boys & male choir sing! Afterward we took the rest of the tour, ate delicious lupper at the Giraffe Cafe and returned via tube to London. Bekah and I went on a photo shoot while Leon got our boarding passes printed for BA00197(?). I had her go inside a phone booth--which she said reeked of urine (LOL) and display the narrow halls in the hotel & the door of our executive suite--Henry VII.

We trekked back via Trafalgar Square, past the palace and mews to our hotel. We figured we walked 3 miles. :) Leon didn't think I could do that without stopping to rest on a park bench.
We had a nice dessert and coffee in the lounge and called Houston and talked to Bekah's parents and our son Jon. Good night all. Pat
