I went into Bath yesterday, had a swim and then it was mild enough to sit outside by the Avon River and eat my lunch. I saw three cherry trees in full bloom--that seems amazing for January 24! I don't know if it is normal for here, or a fluke, but it makes me happy to see it.
There is lots of flooding going on in England again. Bath area doesn't seem to be affected, thank goodness, but as soon as we head even a little ways away, we see cricket fields (or rugby, I don't know what sport)--anyways, the fields are flooded and it is strange to see ducks paddling through the goalposts. Lots of coverage on the news of cars submerged in water halfway up, and people slogging through water in their Wellingtons. Mary and I are selfishly glad that we aren't having to deal with this.
Mary stayed up til 5 am writing a paper--the student life! I don't know how she does it...my mind shuts down by 10 pm and if I have to concentrate on anything after that time my output is really pathetic. She seems to manage OK though...we're off for a walk through the fields to clear our minds.
This Sunday we are heading to Stonehenge...will let you know how that goes
More later!

Hey Karen and Mary,
I'm sure you've heard by now that instead of cherry blossoms we're getting lots of snow here! Hope spring continues to develop there! MTB
