We went to Oxford University and had a wonderful tour by our friend Leigh, who is getting her D Phil there (finish that chapter, girl! You can do it!!). Oxford was stunning in terms the old buildings and bizarre as the town of Oxford looks like any other English village. It was exam time, so we did see students walking around in white bow ties and robes, as well as white, pink, and red carnations to let everyone know what level of tests for which they are sitting.
The Radcliffe Camera, the science library and, from the top, a stunning view of the school and village.
Leigh's office window in All Souls College (the smaller window above the bay window)
A lovely street in Oxford
After the tour, we went to the Old Parsonage and joined my boss for high tea. It was a lovely day in the city of learning. For a brief second, I wanted to be a student again.... but that passed when I thought of sitting for exams or actually writing a dissertation.

I really wanted to see pictures of some of the students. You couldn't sneak one? :)
Why do I feel ready to move now?
