I had the pleasure (in part courtesy of Regent College Student Association's conference fund) of flying back over to my dear Oxford for a week this spring to attend a conference. A lovely time with a handful of friends—lovely just to be soak in the ambiance of the town as well. Blessed by a deeply encouraging conference which again refreshed my vision for my studies at Regent... a good trip all around.
Visited my college—Wycliffe Hall—to have lunch with my principal and tea with one of my tutors.
New College—a decent conference venue, don't you think?
New College dining hall—they do an amazing roast duck leg. Seriously. It was served at the conference dinner last year as well because its just so good!
With friends Mari, Amanda, and Sukai at the conference

The springtime temperature plummeted and it snowed!! Equally beautiful and miserable. I take it back. Full disclosure: it was definitely slightly more miserable than it was beautiful.
But all was forgiven over a last morning coffee to reflect and process at Cafe Loco with its view of Christchurch cathedral. This reconciled attitude was strongly helped by a hardworking radiator against the wall under my table, and a very decent eggs benedict.
