"I was pretty confused after walking around Oxford for most of the day. My friends and I kept passing colleges and buildings that were part of the university but where was the actual main campus?"

The glampacker photo of the Keble College Quad gave me a bit of nostalgia for the 1992 Tolkien Centenary. I had a room overlooking that Quad. *sigh*

But that said ... what kind of preparation did the blogger make, that they didn't know there wasn't an "Oxford University campus"?

Oh well.

As for the bosses of the ceiling inspiring Tolkien's ents? I would have thought that looking up at actual trees would have done that for him much more thoroughly.
