This is the cottage I stayed in the first week.
Very picturesque!
This was my back yard. The picnic table was a perfect spot for studying.
At the Jacobs. A sendoff for three girls headed off to the A-team.
Their backyard is perfect for get togethers.
With Lorraine Hall and Lillian Lindbergh at Blenheim Palace.
The palace was quite impressive!
Stepping into the British soldier's shoes.
We don't really fit the part.
But it was fun anyways!
I'm not quite sure what I am supposed to be. A pageboy?
Little Red Riding Hood
This is only part of the castle.
The gardens.
I heard part of Pride and Prejudice was filmed here.
As well as other BBC films.
This is where Winston Churchill proposed to his wife.
The rose garden.
A waterfall on the grounds.
Quite lovely!
This lake is also part of the grounds at Blenheim Palace.
Complete with water lillies.

The grounds also hold a butterfly house.
This is where C.S. Lewis used to meet for lunch.
Apparently, C.S. Lewis wrote much of the Narnian series here!
Inside the Eagle and Child with Kristin.
On a tour through Oxford.
The Radcliffe Cathedral. One of the main Bodleian libraries.
Punting boats. Quite difficult but a lot of fun!
Another of England's picturesque pubs.
