My brother is moving to Oxford. I'm super jealous.

Happy for him and his wife, but super jealous!

I would love to live in England.

He's relocating for work.

Lucky, lucky dude.

I have golden handcuffs where I am, so relocating isn't possible for me until I retire....

Wonderful place. Wandered in and out of many beautiful college grounds and courtyards. Bookstores were spectacular. However, this was more than 30 years ago.
