 As I passed St Mary Magdalen's Church in Oxford I came across this lady doing a sketch of part of the graveyard.  I asked if she would mind me taking her photograph and she was fine with that.  I didn't want to disturb her longer than necessary so composed and tripped the shutter as quickly as I could and walked on by.

St Mary Magdalen's lies on the site of a wooden Saxon church which burnt down in 1074.  A stone church was built in its place and that formed the basis of the building as it is now.  It lies diagonally opposite the Ashmolean and it's a busy old place so I dandered on up the road away from the hustle and bustle.
