Sir Thomas Bodley’s motto was 'Quarta perennis'.

Which means 'The fourth will last forever' - referring to the Bodleian being the 'fourth' library built in Oxford.

It could arguably be read as...'May the fourth last forever.'

Happy #StarWarsDay !

On the eve of #NoMowMay (and beyond!) here’s a little thread on why both mowing AND not mowing different parts of your lawn can be brilliant for wildlife. Sounds perverse? It’s all about long-grass and short-grass, and why you want both…

Words can’t adequately express how much I miss Magdalen, my alma mater and home for 6 years! It’s the most magical, inspiring place and always in my heart ♥️

Even with all the chaos in the world at the moment, the May Morning tradition at my alma mater Magdalen College University of Oxford still carries on & gives us all a moment of respite & solace.
Wonderful memories of staying up all night to bring in May with the choir singing atop…

Catching students enjoying the May Day festivities 🥳
