It's a little surprising to come upon it out in the middle of the Ohio cornfields, but it's lovely. You wouldn't necessarily think a kid who grew up in the middle of Tokyo and is afraid of bugs would pick that kind of environment, but all of a sudden he's rhapsodizing about clean air and tasty water. When we were visiting campuses, he was very put off by some of the in-your-face ideology he encountered (he definitely would not like Oberlin), but I'm thinking he'll learn a lot over the next year as a new voter in a swing state. Of course, he might have had a very interesting political education in Scotland as well!Lisa in Tokyonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-64046470697966915672019-09-04T10:09:43.310+02:002019-09-04T10:09:43.310+02:00hari OM

As for the schemozzle that warranted the Yorkshirefolks making a spectacle of themselves... my father is glued - seriously, he hasn't moved from that chair - to the news 24/7 for the last three days. I sit on the other side of the building, with windows open and discover that the birds and wind and I are still breathing, regardless. My equivalent of an ear 'chook'.

I dropped my son off at college earlier this month - he's ended up in a very small town in Ohio rather than St. Andrews after all (much to my husband's disappointment, as there is no good seafood in Ohio) - and I took him to the local bank branch to set up his account. It was a lovely place, with a beautiful old vault in the middle of the lobby and free coffee on a Saturday morning. Not a bad introduction to life in America.Lisa in Tokyonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-28067981880071672942019-09-04T07:10:40.091+02:002019-09-04T07:10:40.091+02:00Our post offices are almost non existent now, with...Our post offices are almost non existent now, with you having to cue up in bookshops and chemists to post parcels. I am sure all of our banks will close soon too. <br /><br />I am not sure that I could live in such an old house. It looks like it might crumble at any time. I much prefer the age of your farmhouse.
