And so back home via Oxford
With the car packed to the gills with glass, I journeyed back via Oxford for a last KK meeting at the President's Lodge (pictured) where we were treated to a dinner with 1979 claret and an equally exceptional Sauternes. But the real treat was entering the controlled book bubble to see a fragment of the St Matthew Gospel about Mary Magdalen, written in 60 AD. Also the Venerable Bede - in his own hand, and a selection of other treasures. So from one sort of a bubble to another, ending where I began my journey of discovery: with the book.
