Green Knowe - norman window
Originally uploaded by maryj59

Well, we are back from England, and back at work - but what a wonderful trip! We got to Green Knowe! Also to Cambridge (Deirdre's first time), to Oxford where we met the lovely Anne Arthur, saw a book binding exhibit at the Bodlean, and went to an incredible concert of early Baroque music, among other things. We also met two old friends again, called our favorite English teacher, and went to the theater.

The plane tickets to England were a gift to us from our family for our birthday. What a fantastic week! High point after high point, but I've got to say Green Knowe was even more beautiful than I'd thought it would be.

Lovely photo! It was great to meet up, finally, and I'm glad you had such a good time. I had very good intentions about trying another of those concerts, but things just seem to have got out of control, time-wise, lately! I hope I might be able to make it over to the US another year!

I hope you will, too1 It really was great to meet up, and we'll certainly want to do it again. Somehow, August has been crazy, though, and just seems to be getting crazier - for example, I did myself a (minor, luckily) injury scrubbing my parents' bathroom, and seem at the same time to have inflamed a couple of old weaknesses. That's why I haven't been online much lately. Best of luck with the book, etc., and let us know when it's done. )
