With clocks going forward an hour tonight, we make the change from Greenwich Mean Time to British Summer Time. This might mean one hour less in bed but it also means the sun won’t set before 7:30 pm again until September! 🥳

The crocuses have started to pop up around our gardens and grounds. In the language of flowers, or floriography, the crocus symbolises cheerfulness and we couldn’t agree more! They also provide a source of nectar and pollen to emerging bees after the cold winter 🐝

Happy International Zebra Day from your favourite “holy zebra style” college! What was intended as an architectural insult in 1870 is something we wouldn't want any other way 🦓

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #cold, here's Keble College Oxford, seen from University Parks after heavy snowfall. #EastCoastKin

The foreground is snow with a number of footprint tracks crossing it. In the middle ground a row of snow covered trees and in the background a large red brick and stone building with small turrets surrounding the roof line. The sky is pale cloud with some watery winter sunlight on the left hand side.

If you’ve visited us this summer, you'll have seen we've been restoring some of our stained glass windows, but this isn’t the first time the chapel has needed a bit of TLC! These older photos were taken in 1962 and 1975, showing repairs being done to the roof and the outer wall 🧱

At graduation, our students can take a piece of Keble with them. Fortunately, these bricks are made of foam. The real ones are staying put! By getting their brick, graduates also support current students and the future of Keble through the Talbot Fund 🧱 #KebleCollege #OxfordUniversity #DegreeDay
