Well, I've been in England for a while; Torah is extremely portable, so it's jolly easy to pack up a supply of parchment and a change of clothes and have a Working Holiday.
This means I write my Torah quota each day, and then instead of spending evenings and weekends in New York's social delights, I spend them with my family. Oldest Niece has just got a bunch of GCSEs...I remember when she was learning to count, cor gosh. Youngest Sister has bought a house. Parental Unit has a most fruitful garden. And so on. Bits of my family are so cute you can't quite believe they're true, it's like they're something off the TV. Mind you I suppose my life looks like that too, slightly unreal in a New Yorky sort of way.
'Cept I spent the last week or so mostly in Cambridge (Cambs, not MA) with lovely friends. Lovely friends have lovely friends, also, so that was jolly jolly nice.
Round here at this time of year one goes blackberry-picking. Done that twice now - once along Southampton Water, and once in some fields outside Cambridge - and have eaten MUCH blackberry-and-apple crumble (4 parts flour to 3 sugar and 2 hard fat, bake over fruit at 180C for about half an hour), sometimes with custard.
