Julie and I walked to the Botanic Garden and enjoyed a very pleasant couple of hours. Again there are completely different flowers in bloom, and we saw only two butterflies...
... and a cannabis plant. And hordes of tourists milling around the colleges, taking pictures of each other in front of everything.I needed a rest before Colin and I went to formal Hall at Worcester College. Everyone dressed up and we made toasts to all and sundry, but the best part was when the students sang "Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech" - it echoed from the walls like a real fight song.
Unlike the concert we ran off to attend at Exeter College straight afterwards. O Dulcis Jesu, sacred chamber music by Corelli and Vivaldi was another in the Early Music by Candlelight series. Julie was already ensconced in a pew by the time we arrived , and we had to creep in after the concert had started. It was heavenly.
