Oxford contd.

Following my big relax in the Botanic Gardens, I pay homage to the Penicillin group just outside.  The stone is now very worn so view this link http://www.oxfordhistory.org.uk/streets/inscriptions/central/botanic_garden.html

In wonderful sunshine, I joined the quiet demonstration organised by Oxford Green Party, entitled 'Refugees Welcome' which was held in Catte St by The Sheldonian.  There was a brilliant turnout and some rousing speeches.  A beautiful setting.  The tide is turning against David Cameron.  He must pull his finger out. The Lebanon is a poor country compared with ouselves, yet a quarter of the population is made up of refugees.  Germans are driving to the Hungarian border and collecting them.  Two thousand have offered to take a family in. I am wondering if I could show that degree of compassion.  It is very difficult for people who are not naturally very sociable, but maybe I could. 

 

I came home by two fast trains and admired the countryside, with a cup of tea. How wonderful everywhere looks when the sun shines.  

Home via the garden on remembrance and Sainsbury.  A quiet night in and the omlette becomes scrambled egg.
