Without the need of an #Oxford comma (& not sure if I was wearing an Oxford collar?!), my #travel #poem, from WalkaboutsVerse, with plenty of #photos/#pics attached, on "Oxford": http://walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/08/walkaboutsverse-49-of-230.html

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐒🐕 Researchers at #Oxford mapped how #monkeys and #apes play with, groom, and occasionally care for other species like #dogs, #deer, and #pigs.

a bit of #inklings history has turned up at the bottom end of our street. Builders chucked out a load of old books, many of them about religion, many signed by Stella Aldwinckle. Who founded the #Oxford Socratic Club in 1941, whose first president was #CSLewis.
