D e l i s i o u c i t y

The Summer Eights or Eights Week consists of a week of rowing competitions between the colleges in Oxford University. This happens in May every year, which embarasingly enough means that I’ve taken that long to post this! Well all I can say is I’m sorry for the tardiness! But I can’t promise you I won’t do it again (*sheepish smile*). Anyway, I attended the event finals, and after that took the opportunity to do a photog walkabout around central south oxford, where I used to live, near the Isis river. The season was bursting with beautiful flowers, and the days were long as the sun beamed its way to the ground, warming our hearts filling us with joy and vitamin D. And then of course,.. it’s almost certainly winter right now as I write this,… so how’s about a little trip down memory lane, and indulge me in a bit of nostalgia from this year’s early summer, aye? Just a head’s up, this is going to be a photos-only post with no food pictures or recipe attached! Gasp, blasphemy! ^_^

Coming up, my photography walkabout, along with some street photog-category shots.

Petite flowers, green wall, ducks (!) and pea-like things

Sun, glorious sun!

Beautiful foliage at the Christchurch College area

Don’t you just love the ironic juxtapositions of things in cities?

Looking back at this collection of pictures, I feel so blessed to be here now. It’s a beautiful city to be in, even more so in the sun-drenched summer. I’ve got so much more pictures to share with you of the things that I did here in Oxford this year, but until then, have a great weekend!

Much love
