Monday Mural -- England: Oxford Covered Market

It was our last day in Oxford and we still had a lot to see. One of the spots that had intrigued me was the Oxford Covered Market.


As we walked in we were met with this splash of color.


It was so bright, so cheerful, I felt as though I was falling into it.


And the details were lovely.


It clearly offered a sneak preview of what we would find when we entered! Brightly painted stalls...


...and equally bright fruits, veggies, cakes and blooms.


For more on our visit to Oxford, check it out HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. Or link using the Paris/England 2018 tab on the menu bar.

  3. Shopping would be fun in a market like that. I wish I could paint as colorful as those first to photos. Wish I had that kind of a painting style, too. Just wonderful!

  11. I'm always in search of bright colors; they do wonders to one's mood. Markets are the ideal place for such colors. They are my first stop when visiting a new village or town.

  24. Jeanie, I love the murals. Someone would most likely have to have drug me out of that wonderful space. I can imagine the shops were great.

    Have a great week!

  25. What glorious colours. I am surprised, I wouldn’t expect anything like that of the usually colourless and rather dismal English trader. Perhaps Oxford is different.

  28. Wow, this market is great. I think, English people like markets, there are a lot of them in the UK. I haven't visited any in Oxford, but maybe next time, when I have more time in this city.

  30. I love a good outdoor market and this one is fabulous with all the colors, murals, flowers and people!

  31. WOW... Oooohhhh... this was FUN! This covered market is such a sweet place in the midst of busy central Oxford... it was fun to go back with this, Jeanie!! I wish we had more variety of markets here... not just soul-less shopping centers full of chain stores, generic music, nowhere to sit and expensive coffee... haha! :/ ((HUGS))

  35. I love those red telephone booths in London. Nel took a picture of one when she was in England. And that home cooked pie shop is charming - love the red building. What a colorful mural you have shared with us today. Lots of great moments and memories when you traveled to England, Jeanie.

  36. I absolutely love that mural! The colors just sing.

  37. I love old fashioned markets. Unfortunately, the council updated our indoor market in town and it's lost it's old market stall holders and it's personality.

  38. We didn't make to Oxford. Next time perhaps. Thanks for sharing.
