More UK Pics

Here are some more pics from the trip.

The first one was taken during our drive through the Cotswolds. We took mainly the smaller B roads for a more picturesque journey. At this point we were travelling down a narrow farm road between Hailes and Guiting Power. It crossed the crest of a hill with great views all around. I had to stop the car and take a few shots.

This one is a twilight shot of Bath Abbey, the last Gothic cathedral built in England:

Here’s a gryphon guarding Grey’s Inn in London. Grey’s Inn is one of the Inns of Court, which house all the legal offices in London:

Here’s one of the shops where the barristers buy their gowns and wigs:

Here is a cheesemongers in Jermyn Street, in the exclusive St James area of London. It was very smelly in a nice sort of way. And expensive:

Last, here is another shot of Oxford from atop the spire of St Mary the Virgin Church:

  1. Oh dear…

    I was at the point of raiding the holiday account to buy a new computer for the boys. (Their one has no.disk.space.left, and they’re sure as proverbial not getting their hands on mine!)

    But now I’ve seen these shots, my resolve to get over there has hardened. Why is myspace so necessary to them anyway?

  2. lovely. is the one on your blog header one of yours as well?

  3. Yes – the one on the header is from the same spot looking in another direction!
