If we were having coffee, I would tell you that *hopefully* I’m back on it with producing content for A Piece of Viola. I’ve got a schedule of blog posts I want to write. I’m trying to get on top of things before I go away with no internet access. I’m back to posting twice a week […]
Oxford Law Society Ball at Hedsor House | Uni Diaries

RAG Garden Party | Uni Diaries
Two weeks ago, in the gorgeous twenty four degrees heat, Oxford’s RAG (Raise and Give) hosted a Garden Party in Oxford’s very own University Parks.
