This is an Ox, This is Gravy, This is Oxford

Ok so we have a weird sense of Humor, but what can you do....?

We visited Rosie in Oxford last week. it was fantastic to catch up with someone from home and get all the news and really there is nothing like hanging out for a day with an great friend that we've known for ages after spending so much time lately with new people. Not that we mind meeting new people and making new friends but hanging out with old ones really rocks!! We miss you all.


Our pro tour guide Rosie got us a walking tour of the town so we followed that around and tried to look at stuff while we caught up on each others lives for the past few months!!! this only resulted in us getting lost once so pretty successful, not anything to do with my geographical skill at map reading i might add!! my bad that we went the wrong way!!!!

We saw all the main sights, the outsides of all the colleges and other old buildings. like its arch rival Cambridge Oxford is a really beautiful town and the Architecture is stunning. we think it would be awesome to have studied in one of those old buildings (wouldnt you be gutted if you got put into a new modern college building) but reckon that it might be atad daunting having to do exams in the "Examination School" as if exams weren't bad enough just having to go to the C block!!!

We had lunch at the pub where C S Lewis and Tolkien and various other famous academic ex students once hung out a lot in there time, randomly named (as many english pubs are, yesterday i drank at the slug and lettuce, but i diverge) the Eagle and Child!!! lunch was a prolonged affair cos its easier to chat when not trying to cross roads and it was freezing outside!!!!! The weather even threw a random Hail storm at us!!! BRRRR

Then sadly Rosie had to go back to being a diligent hard worker and so me and J investigated the inside of Christchurch College. Really how could we not? As expected it was stunning and especially the chapel/catherdral!

J and i decided to make the most of being out so we went to the movies in the evening. really i couldnt believe that they actually played over half an hour of adds before the actual movie!!! no kidding cos i looked at my watch!!! the movie was 'how to loose friends and alienate people' it was hilarious.!!! and on that highly unacademic and scholarly note we ended our Oxford day out!!!!!
