Mary and I have both recovered from our colds and life has been feeling more upbeat these days. We did another pub walk last Saturday, 4 miles so not too long. We saw ducks, fields, a sweet brook, and a gorgeous little village called Slaughterford (not so gorgeous a name really). It was all stone houses and walls, and if it wasn't for seeing the occassional car, we could have easily convinced ourselves we were back in Jane Austen's day.
My brother Jim arrives this Friday--he's in London right now for a few days. He'll be here for five days and then he and I will go to Nice, France for five days--where the forecast is for sun and highs of 20!! I can't wait. Spring flowers are steadily coming on here, and it is getting warmer, but I am just greedy I guess and want MORE sun, MORE warmth!
M and I went to a piano concert last Saturday at the university. It was really fabulous--solo piano, but so varied a program and really very lovely.
So we are at the end of February...three more months til we return to Vancouver! One of the things I'll miss though when I leave, is all the different English accents. I just like the sound of it and the different words used. Of course, I am tired of people asking me where I'm from, since I keep thinking that I don't have an accent myself :-)
Hope to get some good pictures of Nice to post. Bye for now!
