Today we navigated our way to Oxford (walk to Uxbridge, take the Tube  
one stop to Hillingdon, catch a bus to Oxford).
We met our Oxford friends, Lynn, Neil, their son James and daughter  
Louise, for a picnic in Oxford University Park, a huge park on a  
scenic river with punting boats floating by (punting is standing at  
the back of a flat bottom boat and using a long pole to push yourself  
along).
After spending the afternoon in thr park, we went to The Bear pub for  
cider and beer, then caught the Oxford Tube bus back to Hillingdon  
where we'll catch the Tube back to Uxbridge.
I'm blogging from the bus now, using the onboard WiFi.
The photo is of a statue of William Herbert, son of Mary Sidney, in  
the courtyard of Oxford's Bodleian Library.
