Picspam two: Oxford

[fpb]

I have a lot more photos of Rome to put up, but I thought I would break off to show a few pictures of another place I love.

Where did you go? If you went to Cambridge, Cambridge is actually lovelier - and I speak as a loyal Oxford man. (The weather is worse, but that's another matter.)

[fpb]

Well, that's another country altogether. And I gather that Edinburgh is more than worth visiting of itself.

I may post about London some time, but my next few picspam posts are going to be about Rome.

You can actually rent them for a holiday exploring the country's canal network - http://www.canalboat-holidays.co.uk/resources/boat-rental.htm . I did it in Sweden, twenty years ago.

You can do it when he's grown up a bit. The canals aren't going anywhwere.

I am enjoying your picpams immensely! I love Oxford and can only regret that my parents believed you could only get a proper superior education in France (or at least get a job in France with a French superior education. Which, incidentally, was so wrong on SO MANY LEVELS.)

SIr, please keep posting lovely photos. I love hearing about your life, and the photos put it into context in such a visually pleasing manner.

Just like I love hearing about yours and seeing your photos (give or take the odd really bad dress design). However, I would still be grateful if you could let me see your thesis. You said you would, but you seem to have forgotten.

[sanscouronne]

I am so sorry to have forgotten. I fear your critique of it, but will gladly send it to you.
Do you have an e-mail address to which I could sent it?

like these. btw have you been to see the rollright stones, not too far from oxford?

[fpb]

Nope. Not even to the White Horse of Uffington, which is infuriating. And I haven't done half the things an Oxford undergraduate is supposed to do, from taking a girl punting (lack of girl, mainly), to May Balls (lack of formalwear and girl).

Not even to the White Horse of Uffington, which is infuriating.'
although it's quite nice there, the horse is best seen from a distance and definitely with a female in tow. by far the best approach to this is to get the victim of your affections to think it's her idea to go and see it, that way you also benefit from laying the blame on her. and just imagine the endless hours of fun you could have dropping hints and punning on the name!
