Yesterday I got a rare peek into one of the Oxford colleges’ famous wine cellars - at @corpuschristiox🍷 The colleges buy their wine in bulk many years in advance, storing and bottling it themselves. This means that if you’re lucky enough to have dinner in hall you can buy a bottle of wine to accompany it that may cost you £25 in college, but can be worth over £1000 commercially! 🍾🥂 Huge thanks to Corpus Head Porter, Trevor, for allowing a gaggle of guides to poke our inquisitive noses into nooks and crannies all over the college! And to @oxford_guild_of_tour_guides for organising. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 I’m an award-winning Oxford Green Badge tour guide.

There are some astonishing items on display in @christchurchoxford library’s Lewis Carroll exhibition at the moment, following the surprise donation to the college of probably the most important private collection of his work: 😲 Alice’s personal copy of Through the Looking-Glass - and the copy Carroll/Dodgson inscribed and gave to her mother. 😲 A letter he wrote to one of his child-friends. Backwards. 😲 The (in)famous ‘Beggar Maid’ photograph Dodgson took of Alice. 😲 A gift from Illustrator John Tenniel with an extra pencil doodle of Alice on the title page. 😲 An engraved block used to print the title page. 🤣 A version of Alice in Wonderland translated into Klingon. And of course an opportunity to see the magnificent library where Dodgson himself used to work. Well worth a visit - it’s on until 17th April, open Tuesday and Thursday 10am-1pm and Wednesday 1-4.30pm. 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 I’m an award-winning Oxford Green Badge tour guide.
