A Note on the Weather

We have had several people comment, via this blog and otherwise, that it doesn't look like we've had much rainy weather - a lot of photos are in the sunshine, and nothing looks too bad or cold. However, we have discovered that English weather can change from sunny to cold and windy to drenching rain back to sunshine within half an hour, and often does. People don't like to get out their cameras during the rain, and things are much prettier during the sunshine, and so those are the photos you get. However, if one is outdoors for several hours, one can plan on being drenched, no matter how sunny it looks at the moment. Right now, the weather is comfortable for sitting in the sun, but cold when the clouds come up. This morning, as I've been checking my email, etc., it has rained twice - pouring down, cold - but now the sun is out again.

Also, unfortunately, my little mini-computer seems to have picked up an internet-connection hitch of some sort, which makes blogging almost impossible. Blogging may be slow for awhile, or maybe I can borrow someone else's computer. We're in Oxford now, and everybody's OK.
