23 June, brexit vote day
Tourist day in Oxford with Evensong
Bodleian library. Lovely square with rooms on all four sides.
Hotel, a former prison, has converted the cells to rooms. Photo is how the hallways look currently.
Walking tour using our map, historical city sites walk Wonderful and relaxing to see.
Spectacular 150 acre Christ Church meadow. Christ, Merton colleges as well as a walk to Magdalene collage.
Tea at the Grand cafe, dating to 1650 as a location for the oldest coffee house in England, no one was British and staff could not understand our American English. That and terrible lack of service. The teas and food were fine and it is a lovely place to sit.
Evensong at Christ Church cathedral. Crowded service. Started at 18:00, which is 18:05 Oxford time. Church timr is five minutes later than GMT time. Old tradition that does not change.
We have been to three evensong.
– Conques in France,catholic, no music
-Cantubury cathedral. Some singing by the choir but we did have the archbishop there. Bobby went from Bobby the unblessed to Bobby the blessed.
-Christchurch. Best one yet. Mostly singing, organ music and three readings week done.
