They all sound so wonderful. Of course people look at pictures of Cape Town and think we live in paradise here too. But I’m really glad you had such a good time visiting in Connecticut. Definitely one for the coast-to-coast tour (which P and will probably get to when we’re 50!)

Apparently people no longer use them as they once did. I really cannot imagine a world without a public library. Something rather special, reverential even about them. I recently re-joined my local library as much in support as self interest.

It sounds lovely (though I bet it snows lots–mark not in its favor, trust me). However, it sounds like you’re having a wonderful time.

I’ll definitely move with you. Guilford is a lovely little Connecticut town, and a great place to be based. And then we could explore all the other lovely little Connecticut towns (of which there are so many) together.

Connecticut winters, though. Shudder. Although you are quite right and we are all so, so thankful for spring. I had lunch in the park twice this week and it was marvellous.
There are many places I would like to live: Oxford, UK; Edinburgh; Siena, oh and somewhere in Cornwall. Slightly different versions of lives are associated with all of them.

If only it were possible, I would live here AND in Bath in the UK which is my favourite city, and somewhere like Scotland for the wild beauty, and San Francisco, which I’d love, love to visit, and Paris. Bilocation is the proof of sainthood, they say, so goodness only knows how good I’ll have to be to manage this feat – it’s not likely that I’ll make it!

It’s been wonderful to have you here. It’s made even ME appreciate Guilford all the more. What’s funny is how we were walking down the sidewalk on the Green and I was saying, “It’s a nice town, but I’ve never thought of it as particularly friendly…” and then from that moment on it was like a Frank Capra musical–with people popping out of storefronts to say hello and whistle tunes, people waving and smiling–even TEENAGERS who were zooming past us on bikes!! I think Guilford was possibly showing off for company. But anyway I take back all the not-so-nice thoughts I’ve ever had about this sweet little town, even though I, too, have been often disturbed by its lack of, uh, diversity. Please, please come back again!

You should see how white Lebanon Missouri is. It’s about 98% white, althout I haven’t actually looked at the census demographics. When Jim and I moved here from the Bay ARea, our reaction was “What happened to all the other people?”

My brother and his wife live in Guilford. He has mentioned the Free LIbrary.
