18 Nov 75 Oxford all day. Lunched at Bear, Woodstock....Terrible weather. Very wet cold. Froze all day. Visited Taylor-Burton. Bought £17,500 piece of land for Buckminster Fuller Building. Everything very shabby. Clothes cars etc. Students unattractive. Beer warm. Depressing.

10 Nov 1971 I am 46 years old today. I am sometimes surprised that I got so far. I always had the feeling that I would die in my thirties and in my twenties was firmly convinced that I would die at the age of 33. #RichardBurton100 🏴

10 Nov 1968 I am now 43. It's nine in the morning. The sky is grey but it has a look of turning into sunshine later on. Yesterday was wholly delightful. #RichardBurton100 🏴
