What a Difference 30-Some Years Make!
Posted on 3:14pm Sunday 6th June 2010
The last time I visited Oxford was over 30 years ago, on a cold December night during the Arab oil embargo and the national coal miners' strike. My sister and I had toured Stratford-on-Avon and seen a matinee, and then come to Oxford for the night before leaving from Luton early the next day for a cheap package holiday to Benidorm. We arrived in the dark at a cheap and dreary B&B, with few lights, no heat, and no locks on the door. I slept with my clothes on, clutching my bag for the trip the next day. Needless to say, Oxford did not make a great impression, and I hadn't been back since.

New Beginnings

After a lot of travel in January, a lot of personal business in February and March (including getting my permanent UK residency visa)and more travel in April (prolonged by Icelandic ash), I am back in Laverstock, Salisbury, ready and anxious to write again.

Living in the UK
Posted on 4:44pm Monday 1st March 2010
I must admit that I thought it was a little ironic. After having one year of university study in Canterbury, dozens of subsequent trips to England, and now two years of living in Salisbury, I recently found myself ready to take a test entitled "Life in the UK."

Posted on 2:13am Monday 4th January 2010
The first rule of travel is: be prepared for the unexpected. Its corollary is: sometimes the unexpected can be the most enjoyable part of travel.

Christmas Spirit

Our Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning were so full of the Christmas spirit that they would have chased the humbug out of any Scrooge.

A Potpourri of Traditions
Posted on 2:23pm Tuesday 22nd December 2009
The last two or three weeks of the year are a busy and often beautiful time, when we follow some old traditions and perhaps begin some new ones. With so many things to discuss, this post will be a potpourri of December thoughts.

More Football For Americans
Posted on 8:41pm Sunday 13th December 2009
Last summer, after becoming a season ticket supporter of the Southampton Saints and attending a few matches, I published a blog post that tried to bridge the liguistic gap between sports in the UK and sports in the US (see "Football for Americans" at www.acrossthebourne.wordpress.com).
