We are heading to Oxford in the morning!
To get ourselves in the mood we were watching 'Brideshead revisited' with Jeremy Irons, Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud - a true British classic. I was at first sligtly sceptical towards the film (but the book is one of Simon's favourite novels ever) which was unveiling itself at a pace of a grazing cow but after the second part I fell in love with this story of 'posh, mad, long established, catholic toffs' and it's deliciously decadent characters of two Oxford students. The part happening in Venice won my heart over. I was in Oxford 15 years ago on a beautiful sunny day in the summer and I am really looking forward to visiting it again.
There are obviously going to be some chores: we have to find a florist, order a cake (probably from Maison Blanc) and book tables for the meal in a restaurant - all that with at an extremely steep budget. Let's just hope that the weather and the chaplain are going to be on our side.
