Oxford- The land of bicycles and shrunken heads

So here we are, six months down and six to go! We can hardly believe it has been this long already! During the Christmas break (holy hell, that was 3 months ago already!) we donned our caps and gowns and headed for a day trip to Oxford. It was a bit of a miserable day, but Oxford still delighted. It seemed every time we turned a corner, there was a plaque telling us of some ancient scholar who invented the microscope or some such achievement!
Anyway here is the evidence:








We came over all scholarly while there and made a visit to the excellent Natural History Museum. They had an amazing collection of skeletons and rocks.
Including this stuffed Dodo:


In another massive room, that we almost missed, was an enormous collection of STUFF! Including a heap of shrunken heads.

This guy was a particular favourite:

Gorgeous innit!

Hi Andrew and Sarah,

If I read this right, the latest news on this blog is from January. Has the weather been that rotten?? Have you been snowed in??

Hope you're keeping well and that something interesting has been happening over the past 8 weeks and you're just keeping it to yourselves!

Skype sometime
