James and James were honoured to be invited to the Senior Common Room to dine with the Fellows of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, and to discuss Byrga Geniht research. LMH holds the distinction at Oxford of being the first college to admit women to university education, and is named on honour of an exceptional Renaissance woman, Lady Margaret Beaufort (the mother of Henry VII). The college has exceptional riverside gardens, which are particularly beautiful at this time of year.

We had a wonderful warm welcome... in spite of hailing from 'The Other Place'!
