I turned 21 yesterday. As the cliché goes, I don't actually feel any different, but one thing that did happen is that my friend Elise, whom I've known since we were at sixth-form together, came to visit me! She wasn't here very long, but I took the opportunity to show her around Oxford and be a bit of a tourist myself.
 |
| Elise outside the Radcliffe Camera, the very distinctive library that mostly houses history and English books. |
 |
| In Brasenose, which is not my college, but I took her to the nicest-looking ones. |
 |
| Lovely view of the roof of the RadCam from Brasenose. |
 |
| In Corpus Christi, that pint-sized college! |
 |
| The dining hall at Christ Church. And yes, that is the Hogwarts dining hall! |
 |
| Also in Christ Church: the Harry Potter stairs! |
The last few days have been appalling weather in Oxford, with torrential rain, but the last couple of days have been even worse and added gale-force winds to the mix. On certain streets it was almost impossible to walk into the wind. These are the kind of days when you wonder what the point was in styling your hair...
