Oxford and Buscot Park

Sunday we visited Oxford and a stately home called Buscot Park. The latter had a fabulous art collection including pieces from Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Botticelli and Rossetti. It was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed walking around both the city and the beautiful grounds of the estate.

They had a do-it-yourself ice cream machine at Buscot Park, where Jacob was on his way to making the most beautiful ice cream cone in the world. Until it collapsed. The ice cream was really soft and couldn't sustain the weight of a tall ice cream column. (I love so many things about this photo, one of which is that you can see a couple of drops of ice cream falling out of his hand.)
