ramblin_rosieI got Joss Ackland's autograph!
I got my picture taken under the pulpit where Lewis and John Henry Newman preached!
I could probably have gotten my picture with many more people at the reception at the Examination Schools, but I kept dropping off for split seconds during the sermon, and since I need to pack and still be up no later than 5:30 tomorrow morning, I figured I'd better come back ASAP.
During supper, Nigel Goodwin had us all stand up and applaud the wait staff and kitchen staff. I thought that was a cool idea. :)
Can't believe this will be my last update from Oxford. The time has just flown by. And while, as I've noted, the trip wasn't perfect, it has been wonderful. And I hope I can come back someday--like for Oxbridge '08 or to stay at the Kilns.
I paused on the way back to say goodbye to 99 Holywell and couldn't help feeling kind of sad that Tolkien fans haven't done for one of his houses (like 20 Northmoor Road) what the C. S. Lewis Foundation has done with the Kilns. I think that's an interesting contrast between Lewisians and Tolkienisti. And I'm not sure what the root of it might be.
Well, my feet are hurting all the way up to my neck, and I keep zoning out as I type, so I'll sign off for now. Once I get back into the swing of things at home, I'll see what I want to do with my photo tour (assuming I can remember what everything is).
See you on the flip side!
