I did not go to Oxford during the first week of term. Instead, I took a long walk in the village of Blockley. The summer was chilly, and finally in October, we had a day that was warm enough to go outside without a coat. The plan was to walk a circular route south and west through The Warren, then north to Norcombe Wood. A sensible person would use an Ordnance Survey, but I preferred the Tolkienesque hand-drawn map for my exploration of the unknown territory.
"We to the café for warmth that night' - a theme from the beginning, middle, and end of "Summer Came Late"! Baked Camembert on a plank may be hard to find here in Madison, as is the "plank", but the candied pecans might be found. Bergamot (in the Earl Gray) is now recognized as great for multiple health measures.....
