No fireplaces? No problem! We're about to open the doors to our annual student Christmas party. After a couple of proseccos we hope everyone will agree a bit of tinsel and fairy lights can make even Building 58 full of festive magic!

An unexpectedly snowy morning in Southampton today. Rather lovely, and prompting lots of excited chatter around campus. ☃️

In the centre of the image an evergreen tree is dusted with snow, the grass beneath it is green, under the shelter of it's branches, resulting in a circle of snowy ground around it. Behind the tree are university buildings A view from a window looking across the roof of another building. The is snow falling and a dusting of snow across the tops of the 4 buildings in shot
