It Is Punting Time In Oxford

The weather has been great over the last few days and you know what that means, that's right it's time to get on the River, and the Punts at Magdalen Bridge have been very very busy when I have been walking past.  It is a nice way to spend a few hours, a few friends and a bag of nibbles on the water.  A very Oxford experiance that should not be missed, even on a day trip during the summer it is a must.

End Of Punting Season

Not sure exactly when the end of the Oxford Punting Season is, but it is my guess that it would be soon. Today the weather while nice and bright, it was starting to cool. However these guys were having the classic Oxford experience and punting under Magdalen Bridge on the River Cherwell. See that Landrover in the back ground that is in the Botanic Gardens which is another site that is worth a visit if you have a hour to spare, on a nice day.

May Day Breakfast At The Bear Oxford

Unfortunately I did not manage to get up early enough to get to the Traditional May Day service at Magdalen Bridge, reports from the Oxford Mail this morning say that over 18000 people attended. It was about 6.30 when I managed to get into the centre of Oxford with most of the pubs in town already in the full swing of cooking Breakfasts for all those revellors returning from Magdalen Bridge. At Oxford's oldest pub, The Bear which is always open early for May Day customers where enjoying a liquid breakfasts from 6am. John Otway launched his new book this morning at the pub, which I am sure help pull a few more punters in to the celebrations.
