This entry was totally going to be about the theological conversation I overheard last night - in fact, it's still in draft as Day 4, but will have to become Day 5, because half a pint of strawberry beer and splitting a bottle of white wine with Nick means I am too drunk to do a complicated gratitude entry before midnight.
So, I am grateful for nighttime walks in my city. Oxford is beautiful at any time, but increasingly so at dusk and after - and the sense of being at a crossroads in time - that you'll turn a certain way and find yourself in the 17th century - envelops one. It's why I go on the Oratory night walk every year. To turn a corner and see one of the many stunning buildings - colleges, chapels, part of the Bodleian library, lit from inside underneath a moonlit sky fills my heart with joy.
Note to self: must take more.

This is one of the things I most miss about Oxford. :-( xxx
Yesss! I'm grateful for... many posts by Irim in the near future.
Me too...
Oxford has figured prominently in some of my favorite novels... someday I must come visit you there. At which time you must buy me a strawerry beer, that sounds delicious!
CEAD - *Hugs* - and I miss you too.
Lesley - Hi!!! *Waves wildly* Howzit?
LLM - You're on. Can't wait.
