Daffodils and blossoming tree in the churchyard of St Leonard's, Eynsham |
Well, hello, hello, hasn't it been a long time since I updated? A scandalously long time, in fact. I have decided my best excuse is that I was hibernating and now that it is spring (or, at least, it was very springy on Sunday), I had better get back to it.
I suppose the real reasons for lack of posting were partly born out of busy-ness, as this term I have prepared and submitted all my materials for the Confirmation of my DPhil status, and I am currently racing towards the completion of a full draft (!) of my thesis. I'm also still submitting my YA fantasy novel to literary agents, and should be pushing ahead on the first draft of a new novel.
In the coming days and weeks, I plan to post on
- my experiences on the third year of the DPhil and the work/writing/life strategies that are currently working for me
- 2013, the year that was (including the best books I read last year)
- our recent travels to Cornwall, Munich, Vienna, and Prague
Until then, a few more pictures from our walk up the Thames Path to the deliciously cute village of Eynsham.

The Thames path, rather muddy in places, but dry here. |

The 18th-century toll bridge at Swinford. Still charges a measly 5 p per car at the bottom. Free for pedestrians and cyclists, however. |
