Oxford....without the pictures!

Ok, I know when I'm beaten, so this is just a written blog without any photos. I can't make it publish photos at all.
We are staying in our neat little flat, unfortunately it's up 4 flights of stairs, which is fine without suitcases, but not so easy with! It's a very nice flat which overlooks some canal boats on the Thames. We are only a 10 minute walk from the centre of Oxford. It's very pretty and very convenient.
We now have a car, a black Ford Focus. A nice little car, luckily with built in Sat Nav, as the GPS I brought from Melbourne has decided not to work in England. What a pain!
We have done a couple of trips. We drove to Leicester on Thursday and visited the Richard the Third museum. It was very different from our last visit in 2013. The whole site has been redeveloped and it's been done extremely well. We also visited the cathedral where Richard the Third was reinterred last year. It was a fabulous experience.
On Saturday we went to the water bird conservation centre at Slimbridge in Gloucester. We spent the whole day there looking at flamingos, swans, geese, ducks, coots, moorhens, cranes and even otters. It was lovely. We even saw the otters being fed and listened to a talk by one of the otter keepers. They are very cute animals.
The weather has continued to be lovely. We have been very lucky in the last week or so. I hope it stays fine until we leave for home in a week and a bit.
