Pause for breath on Flickr.
Having a rest while we wandered round Oxford. This was in the gardens of one of the Oxford Colleges - I forget which one, we wandered in because there was a lot of activity going on - turned out it was loads of people taking photos of graduating students in gowns and mortars. It felt a bit intrusive, so we dived off down a little alleyway and found this peaceful garden.

Ghost Forest on Flickr.
Currently on display outside Oxford’s Museum of Natural History, the Ghost Forest trees are from a commercially logged primary rainforest in Western Africa and were brought to Europe in a gargantuan logistical task by the artist Angela Palmer. They are intended as “ambassadors” for all rainforest trees and highlight the alarming depletion of the world’s natural resources. Today a tropical forest the size of a football pitch is destroyed every four seconds.

Malmaison Hotel in Oxford on Flickr.
Stayed here for a romantic weekend break for our Anniversary - the hotel is a converted prison, still in use right up until the ‘90’s. Each room is three cells converted into one room. An excellent hotel - a bit on the pricey side, but definitely fits the “boutique hotel” model. Best hotel breakfast I’ve had in years.
