Home again

I have had a wonderful weekend in Oxford, meeting up with friends who, like me, have a passion for photography. We walked miles, stopped frequently in coffee shops, climbed to the top of a Church Tower and wandered round the very beautiful Botanic Gardens. Fun and laughs were had and no one fell into the river or the fountain! As some people had commitments for part of the weekend Saturday night was the only time that we were all together. We had pre booked a table at Strada and had  a very tasty meal. There wasn't the usual scratching of heads and doing "sums" when the bill arrived as we had all had dishes from the set menu - at past dinners I can remember calculations being done on serviettes and much discussion about who had what etc etc !!
All too soon it was time for goodbyes and we went our separate ways, with all the usual promises to see each other again soon. The good thing is that we are in touch with each other almost on a daily basis through our photography. Already photographs are on various websites for us all to see. So we get to relive the happiness of time spent in the company of good friends.

Late afternoon late with the promise of rain to come!
