around oxford

-

Another week in Oxford is past! And it was full of much goodness - concerts at the Sheldonian (Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor!), more exploring around Jericho and East Oxford, studying Elizabeth Jennings and hearing Michael Ward, dinner at the Turf with wonderful friends, a day trip to Cambridge, punting on the Thames with Emma, a visit to the Botanical Gardens, a birthday afternoon tea (with lovely people + the best jam) at the Perch, making friends with a lady at a little craft shop, wanderings around Port Meadow and Binsey, browsing around the eclectic book shop Albion Beatnik, dancing in Jericho at midnight, blackberry and raspberry picking, church book sales, blue skies and sunshine, poetry recitations in the garden, banana bread breaks with Lily at the Woodstock Cafe, taking long walks after dinner in University Park, spending an hour or two at Blackwells most afternoons, a lot of reading and thinking and paper-writing too . . .

I know I have said it before, but I feel so grateful + blessed to be here. More pictures and stories to come!
