In an expected turn of events, our beloved Carolyn Wierson needed to leave the program early. Consequently, I've been helping Carole with the program. I've also been enjoying the last of my extended holiday, running to and fro. I've given a poetry reading, attended a garden party, and been a guest on the radio show, The London Literature Lounge. All this and we've been being extra cautious because of the riots. Blogging, I fear, hasn't been something I've had time for.
I promise a full accounting in about a week's time. Photos included. Besides, I'm pretty sure that I'm Facebook Friends with everyone who reads this, so you should have gained some information from there.
We leave for the U.S. tomorrow. It has been a glorious 3.5 fortnights, but it is time to come home. Colin and I feel so fortunate to have our Oxford (and London and Paris and Whitby and Cardiff and Gloucester) friends. Much love to all of you. And, for our friends and family back in Atlanta, we have missed you.
I'm very excited about beginning my new job on Tuesday, but not before one final hurrah with my CETL colleagues.
Love to you all.
“O wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world
That has such people in’t!”
