The view from my "office"

April 14 - Oxford

Discovered that the museum is free to enter. Some nice pieces in there and a few more colleges from the outside and an abandoned churchyard right in town that probably can serve as inspiration for The Woman in Black

April 14 - Blenheim 1/3

This was the most disappointing of all my visit because it’s a very grand and impressive house & amazing if only I could enjoy uninterrupted without the mannequin and dolls dressed with the clothings of British designers that has taken up all the rooms as part of a temporary exhibit!

Another gripe is that the car parking provided requires a half hour hike from an outfield to get to the first portico of the entrance and subsequently I found a much closer back entrance through the back gardens n a much closer car park. Poorly signposted to the various different sections of the property and if not in sequence to the sections one had to back track. If you had difficulty walking for too long but not in a wheelchair this is not the place for you as you’ll be already exhausted before getting to the front door. Food options were limited.

Oh, yuck! I agree, @LinaLee, the mannequins are horrible! They really do interfere with viewing and enjoying the rooms.

Trying to get artsy on the evening walk with a long exposure.

Unfortunately the trawler was going a bit quick.



The one before the trawler arrived showed more of the twilight.


Shorncliffe, Queensland.

Flying back to the big smoke (Antananarivo) in a few hours, if the little Cessna makes it down.

April 14 - Blenheim Gardens (1/2)

It’s a bit hit and miss. The formal gardens and folly’s was very interesting but the walked garden n butterfly house while sounding interesting was completely almost barren. The butterfly house was not signposted at all.

But here also in the gardens the Harry Potter tree!

April 14 - Blenheim Gardens (2/2))

The one thing I really did enjoy after our wandering was the maze. A tricky one to get out off!

I guess the drivers won't really be looking at the house but you normally can't get that close
