conference in my daughter's college, overnight in mine - irresistible!
Ryanair also flies from the quaintly-named Hamburg/Lübeck airport. The bus ain't a bad idea at all, Gillian. On the other hand, term should be over by then (I'll check that), so parking won't be too bad in Oxford, and it's one hell of a hike up the Banbury (or Woodstock) Road to Stews, yer know. Maybe we could club together and hire something like the Citroen Picasso I rented once in the UK!

Rod, in my experience, parking is always difficult in Oxford - especially on Saturdays and Sundays in the run-up to Christmas!

you're right of course, I'd forgotten Christmas (and I was never in Oxford after the end of term, so how would I know?). But if we are all flying in around the same time at Stansted and club in with 6 or so per "espace", we should be ok: there's usually plenty of spaces in St. Margaret's Road, though the town centre is indeed a bit tacky! It depends a bit on how much flitting around we do, I guess. Let's hear what the others say.

When UK calls, I go and Oxford above all - just love the idea to be back!
I intend to stay during all events and, yes, I will be seeing around for some "quarters", since all my UK friends live southwards a bit. B&B would be lovely
I will try to bring another colleague, but if at all impossible, I will fly alone from Oporto.
Wonderful opportunity to meet virtual friends, new ones and ... have a ball...
Thanks, Gianfranco - see ya

...the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Philip Pullman, especially the first part, "Northern Lights" before you all come to Oxford. It's a great book and partly set in a parallel universe Oxford! And I did my Masters Translation dissertation on the French and German translations of it.
