We’ve been in Oxford a month now and have
accomplished a lot. We found a home that
we move into in November. John has had a
great start to his work at the Said Business School. We’re starting to make friends and create a
sense of community. And we are figuring
out, bit by bit, how things are done here.
We each bought a bike; we can go anywhere on the buses; and we’ve even
successfully navigated the UK banking system.
It might not sound like much, but to us it is success!
Our New home: 12 The Paddock
A few things I’ve learned this past month:
-It doesn’t always rain in England. We’ve had a month of glorious weather!
-People are genuinely kind here
-Everyone thanks the bus driver when they get off the bus
(people here are polite)
-Brits
think American accents are charming in the same way we think British accents
are
-Some of
the countryside is so picturesque that I keep thinking I’m on a BBC production
set
-I love
Oxford, but I’m not so crazy about the empty nest. I miss my kids!
-Skype
truly is miraculous
-It feels
good to have a steep learning curve again.
Everything is new and needs figuring out.
