Down the rabbit hole....

Hello all!

Back at Mum’s again this weekend. Bognor still going well, and loving the beautiful South Coast! I have finally got some pictures organised so have updated previous entries!

Had a lovely weekend, drove up Friday afternoon and had a chilled evening with Mum and Donald. Saturday met up with Tim (from Reading) and we spent the afternoon wandering round Oxford, which is looking beautiful in the spring! Even found the Alice shop! Bliss for me! (Patience for poor Tim!) Then went out for dinner at a Mongolian BBQ, lovely lovely lovely! Went for a drive in the evening, round the Chiltern Hills (perhaps should revisit these in the daytime?) Tim introduced me to watching the motorway from bridges – I must admit I was slightly dubious at first, but I am converted! Exhilarating experience, slightly reminiscent of ‘pooh sticks’ but with a healthy dose of adrenalin! This probably explained my ridiculous fantasies about the ‘Chiltern Ripper’ as we walked back to the car in the pitch black!

Anyway…. Enjoy!

P.S. Exams finish 9th June, hopefully graduate 19th June. So have a month of freedom. Am trying to think of what to do (possibilities are endless) – so need your help! Any ideas? Answers on a postcard….



Bridge of Sighs: 'The Bridge of Sighs joins the two sections of Hertford College located on either side of New College Lane. Modeled on the famous Ponte dei Sospiri in Venice, it has become one of Oxford's most photographed buildings. But its construction was vehemently opposed when it was built in 1913, not least by the Fellows of New College who thought it would spoil the views of their college from the Sheldonian Theatre'

Tim outside the Alice Shop. It's good to catch up with old friends :)

You know what you should do- head back over to OZ and NZ. No discussions. It's decided. Kt. xx

Thanks for the phonecall girls!!! It was great to talk to you! I am going to have to come to Oz now! Great celebration of (hopefully) becoming Dr Annie and (not so hopefuly) becoming 27!

See you soon xxx
