Oxford

Dan got one of his posters accepted for the Oxford Foundation Symposium a national conference for foundation doctors. Roy and Julie looked after the girls for the day while we drove down to Oxford. We got there in good time and registered for the day then did a bunk into town and had a few hours exporing the city centre before we had to get back for lunch and the poster presentations.

It was nice wandering the covered market and listening to a busker singing a little Irish Jitty 'you are your mammies prescious boy' to a little kid.

The Radcliffe Camera was very impressive, I felt as though I was in some Italian city... the only difference was the cold.

As we were admiring this interesting building on Folly Bridge a friendly local flying by on his bike shouted out that it used to be a brothel.

In ther short time we had, we even managed to scramble up Castle Mound to get this view of the city.

We were back in time for lunch and for Dan to give his presentation. He looks ever so cheery considering the subject of his poster! We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon in various workshops and talks. All in all a very enjoyable day. We had the choice to finish the day off with the local fireworks display but I was quite happy to call it a day and not freeze to death.
