A good night’s sleep was needed after the exertion of Tom’s ‘getting-to-know-you’ games on Sunday evening, which involved a great deal of moo-ing and barking. However, we were all bright - eyed and bushy-tailed for the morning meetings with tutors, who set the first academic work of the Summer School.
After some time to study in the afternoon, we went on tours of some of the Oxford colleges led by Tom and Michael. Highlights included visiting New College, where actor Hugh Grant comes to party, searching for wandering deer in Magdalen College’s Deer Park, and of course seeing where Harry Potter first learned to fly his Nimbus 2000 in the film series.After the tour there was time to go out for a meal at an Indian restaurant on Oxford’s vibrant Cowley Road (sometimes referred to as “Cowleyfornia” by some over-enthusiastic locals!), before heading to the famous G&D’s ice cream parlour for some delicious home-made ice cream.
