Bring me flesh and bring me wine

Oxford Winter

I am ending a week spent in Oxford. It has been chilly but very fulfilling intellectually, musically and for my tummy.
 

I have interacted with many experts of participatory agricultural research.





I have listened to rowdy caroling in the streets of town, wonderful choir music during evensong at Christ Church Cathedral and a festive delight of early Western music by Poeticall Musicke.

I have enjoyed cooked breakfast and enormous puddings at the dining hall of Saint Anne's College.
