NEW COLLEGE OXFORD

Not so ‘new’ actually – it was built in 1379.  Not only does it have the best academic record in Oxford, it is the richest, and it has one of best choirs in the world. 

We had a look around, well worth it.  The gardens are immaculate and very peaceful, I’d love to have studied in that environment.  

The garden below is 725 years old.  Just behind it is a church which is 950 years old. Puts Australia in perspective – when I lived here I just took all this for granted, but now I’m visiting after 40 years it seems very special.
