Home again, home again.
We did relax a little on Friday, though, and jaunted through Oxford, where the HLP had one had a course of study as he made his way through law school. (We did not, alas, reach Cambridge, but I have determined to do so on another occasion, in honor of Isaac Newton, who is a personal hero.)
Here, at any rate, is a picture of the Bodleian library, which figures so largely in Gaudy Night, possibly the finest mystery I have ever read. Hooray for Lord Peter Wimsey!
And that was that. I came home again, having jaunted through Germany (no pictures, that was business and I saw a hotel and a biology building and nothing more), England, Scotland, France, and England again in the space of ten days. I came home worn out. It was a great vacation.
