This past week I traveled back to Oxford to attend my academic certificate presentation ceremony. I stayed with a handful of my OCCA girlfriends and spent the majority of my time in conversation with classmates and friends at different cafes and pubs! It was a pretty grey week of weather, cool and unusually windy- however, my spirits could not be dampened. My friend Loretta and I still walked around our favorite parks running around in the springtime flowers... and happily, as the week wore on, the sun finally gave in and shined for us. It was perfectly lovely. I was an enormous blessing to be back there even for a short stay... I find the city inspiring, and my community there encouraging- I feel refreshed and renewed for my present season in Vancouver.
