12 more hours

We're only going to be in Oxford for 12 more hours and I'm bummed. I'm going to miss everything. I want to live here for ever and ever. I love lists:

Yesterday:
a) we went punting
b) we got tangled in a willow and nearly died
c) were rescued by a chaffeur from Leeds who punted us safely
d) was very, very fun
e) watched Blackadder

Today:
a) we visited friends of the family
b) had good food
c) missed the Brideshead Revisited filming in Radcliffe Square but there were extras in tweed suits!
d) had tea at the Vaults under St. Mary the Virgin's University church.
e) had the best time of my life laughing with all the new friends
f) walked back through the park and saw the Rhodes House (Cecil Rhodes, governor of Rhodesia - it said Goede Hoop on his door)
g) just read out loud with lots of people who like to do it
h) and acted out the book
i) have finished packing a monster big bag
j) will watch Blackadder

This week:
a) Thursday - Salisbury (Stonehenge)
b) Friday - Bath (Jane Austen)
c) Saturday - Bristol and Cardiff, which is in Wales
d) Sunday - Edinburgh (Scotland)
e) Monday - on our way to Stratford
f) Tuesday - see Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare), travel to Oxford (pick up Harry Potter book)
g) Wednesday - Leave for USA

I love England. I am planning to decorate my walls with British maps. I am perhaps very lame. Photos soon, I promise. Especially of the punting!
