Have you had to notify Thames Valley Police that a large consignment of books will be travelling across the city, with potential delays to traffic as a result? Actually, I don't suppose books moving around Oxford is anything unusual.<br /><br />I hope you will be very happy in your new home.

I somehow missed the announcement about RL week and haven't got any of her books here in France, otherwise I'd have re-read, as I think I've read them all. Hope you manage at least one, as I've been urging you to give her a go for ages! But anyway best of luck with the move and hope you will be happy in your new abode in Headington. At least you will be able to pop round to Waitrose for goodies, and there's a great coffee place right next door -- perhaps we can meet there for a coffee and a chat next time I am in Oxford (September?).harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470091985662379182noreply@blogger.com
