Sydney and I checked out of our London hotel yesterday and traveled to Oxford, where we took a taxi to the office of one of Sydney’s professors. We spent the rest of the afternoon in that office, enjoying some down time, while the professor was at a conference, and then he brought us to his house, where we’ll be staying until Sydney can move into his own rooms on Monday. So nice to be in a real house again! We’re in Kingham, just north of Oxford, and we’re surrounded by countryside (sheep and fields and such). We have the house pretty much to ourselves this weekend, so we’ve planned a leisurely walk to an organic market nearby for the morning and a quiet afternoon at the house in the afternoon. We slept in tremendously this morning, and I think both of our bodies appreciated it. Off to look at sheep!

Can we see some pictures of the house and countryside?
As it happens, we don’t have any pictures of the house we stayed in. (Don’t bother telling us that with a digital camera we don’t have to worry about wasting film and that we really should take more picture — we already know.) But the houses in Kingham really aren’t that different from each other so the picture in the next post should give you a pretty good idea.
