Wonderful atmospheres, Lynn, with a special shout out to the 17th century vandals for reminding us that undergraduate life has never been unspoiled contemplative bliss! 😂
In January 1645, Aubrey writes, "The Parliament's soldiers are destroying the ancient monuments, which they consider idolatrous." That sounds like a familiar scenario too.
These three vignettes each express a "found home" warmness that remind me of the ideal I had in mind when I went to study in Berkeley, California. My first room was in a Neo-Gothic building with leaded windows, and full oak doors with wrought iron handles. We had a lounge on the main floor with a grand piano where students gathered for casual conversation. I loved it then, but hadn't thought of it for years. Thanks for reviving this wonderful memory that is part of my own experience!

Oh, boy. I always hate seeing Puritan-induced damage in churches....
Couldn’t be any more excited for Season Two. Welcome back!
The only reason there is a season two is because of the comment you made when I said that I might stop after the first year.
Well then I’m glad and so I’m sure are all your readers!

There is this side to Berkeley. When I stayed in a room at the Faculty Club, it felt very much like Oxford.
