20 Things I Miss

I've been thinking a lot about Oxford lately and here is a list of things I miss:

1. City Centre, minus the tourists
2. The path up and down the canal
3. Tea and Ben's Cookies for dessert
4. Going to dinner with Roni and splitting two dishes
5. The Museum- both chatting with the girls and reading in the galleries
6. My crazy Pathfinders kids and HW Club kids and their antics
7. Discuss group, especially group dinners and socials
8. The BEST (and cheapest sandwiches ever)
9. Lunch in Christ Church meadows
10. The Ballroom! Oh those gorgeous dresses!
11. Oxfams on every corner
12. Huge mugs of hot chocolate with mounds of whipped cream enjoyed in a window seat above the High.
13. The sculpture garden in Summertown Library
14. The narrow passageway to the Turf
15. Drinks with the girls at Chequers
16. The Pitt Rivers House of Weird (my name for it)
17. Cutting through the Bodelian and Sheldonian to catch the bus
18. Holding my hand out to wave for the bus to stop
19. The Covered Market and the Market at Gloucester Green on Weds and Thurs
20. Everything...

  1. 1. Its getting bad again, especially with the wedding and the brilliant weather.
    2. Ran there today and saw a boat called Gallifrey! I almost knocked on it and told them how much I loved their name.
    3. Amazing!! Wish you could have split it with me though, a whole cookie can be a bit much.
    4. Yes, having to choose one is so much harder.
    8. Absolutely. Yet another reason that Pesach was hard.
    10. This week they have some brilliant red ones. Thank goodness because last week there was a horrid peach one.
    12. I will get you one of those mugs before I leave, I promise!
    14. Did you know there's another passage from Holywell street?
    16. So bizarre...
    18. Not when they don't stop for you!
    20. Amen! :)
