Warm Sun

I think it's fair to say it may have been a long winter, if the Artist and I, while waiting to pick up the male twin from a birthday party in the city, decided to go early, just so we could take a stroll through the university campus nearby. And that's just what we did.

Most of the buildings are modern, but hidden amongst all the new architecture, tucked out of sight in the centre of the campus, is a small enclave of old original buildings, full of the character and charm you would expect from such a learned institution. This building caught my eye right away. It looked more like a modest house, slightly out of place among the towering halls and old residence buildings and the corner stone, dated 1950 took me back in time. In fact, with the exception of the copper patina on the drainpipe, you'd be hard pressed to fool me that this image isn't from 1950.

The sign on the door says Faculty Club. The moment I read that, I wanted to be Faculty, even for a day, just so I could go inside. I wonder how much it looks and feels like 1950 in there. At least women are allowed in now; I hope. Kidding, I'm sure they are. Right?

If you're like me and have a thing for old school buildings, I highly recommend watching, 'Shadowlands'. One of my favourite movies, it stars Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger and it's chock full of scenes from Oxford during the 1950's. It's a tearjerker, but a wonderful story. Have you seen it?
