Whilst on holiday in the south of England this year my family and I decided to take a day trip to Oxford, somewhere I have wanted to go for ages just to have a look round the Bodleian Library (which was AMAZING but I wasn't allowed to take any photos).
I absolutely fell in love with Oxford, it's so lovely and old fashioned at the same time as having a proper city centre vibe to it. We had a look round Christ Church (one of the colleges that belongs to the university), and it was so traditionally English and picturesque, as well as the Museum of the History of Science, which was really interesting even though I'm awful at scientific subjects - they had the camera that Lewis Carroll used to photograph Alice Liddell who was the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland.
The weather was lovely too, which made the day even better, despite the bus journey back to our car being one of the most uncomfortably sweaty experiences of my entire life (not that there have been many). Although I did spend most of my day there being a proper tourist by taking lots of photos, I did manage to actually look at Oxford with my eyes rather than through a camera lens whilst I was there and found it to be just as lovely and 'proper' as I expected it to be.

I know what you're thinking, why on earth has she taken a random photo of a staircase?BUT this is actually the staircase on which Harry meets Professor McGonagall for the first time in Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone! |
I decided when I was at Christ Church that I was going to attend Oxford rather than Lincoln, I figure it's pretty easy to get into...
