A glorious weekend has been enjoyed by all and Monday has also been great although if I have had to work.
When The Professor was a student here in town many moons ago, like all students at this University, he was a member of a college. As you graduate you become as life member.
So, as we continued to live in this town we are lucky enough to continue enjoying the facilities of the college which is only a few blocks away from our house. These pictures are from one of the properties belonging to the college. Students live here and visiting academics stay here. And we get to enjoy it, too. The property was once owned by a very rich and well-known family and their monogram is found in places.
It is scarily easy to become a little blaze and blind to the privileges...
We are not close to the sea and I have to admit a dip in the river is not tempting.
So cooling down on a hot summers day can be a challenge...
Unless you are a member of this lovely college and can enjoy the gym and and the pool.

Så frodig og fint der er blitt hos deg nå.....samme her hos oss også egentlig. Den siste uken det har vært så varmt og fint, har vi nesten kunne se at blomster, busker og trær vokser fra dag til dag.... Og ja, det er veldig fort gjort å bli blind for de nære ting og noen ganger trenger vi å få en påminnelse.
ReplyDeleteDeilig! Vi har hatt sommer vi også, men nå har temperaturen droppa ned igjen. Flott med tilgang til basseng.
ReplyDeleteJeg har alltid bodd nær en innsjø med badestrand, og bor nå nær Farris,og hele Vestfoldkysten kan nåes inne få minutter. Så jeg unner deg virkelig å ha tilgang på et basseng så du får kjølet ned kroppen litt. Vi var på Løvøya ved Horten igår, og der var det 18 grader i sjøen. Der ble det badet!
ReplyDeleteHa en fin uke, og takk for forklaringen om det med tilhørighet til colleget. Interessant å lære mer om UK.
