let me deinfluence you about what you’ve heard on english weather and english food. They’re both not bad at all! Having spent the better part of the last 6 years in germany, I’m here to tell u english weather is actually lovely in comparison. It’s really not that rainy or cold and it gets surprisingly sunny too. And there are only a few things more comforting than scones with jam & cream or a good sunday roast. I said what I said.
Anywayyy on the more personal side of things, I was very hesitant to move to Oxford (hence the blues) but it turned out to be one of my favourite decisions ever⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s such a sweet city, there’s a shocking amount of things to do given its size, and it’s just such a vibe overall (it’s kind of exactly like you imagine it but better). So if you’re feeling blue and need a sign to move to a new city, let this be it—you can do this & it will be sososo fun!!
