Stephanie: In early April, we took a country walk to Twyford, a small village three miles from Winchester. The English countryside is so beautiful! I wish I could take it home with me. Check out the slide show for some pictures.
It was supposed to be warming up but recently the weather has been a bit gloomy (although that makes it easier for me to stay inside and work). People think I'm crazy since I actually like and defend the weather here. For me, it's a refreshing change from the Austin heat.
Here's a bit about our flat: It's an old church (not sure how old but guessing 1800s) that was converted a few years ago into eleven units. A few people live here permanently but most rent.
Ours is a one bedroom with a living room, study nook, kitchen and bathroom.
It's very modern and we feel very fortunate to live here. No complaints except that we do miss not having a garbage disposal (though most people don't seem to have them here anyway) and a yard, especially since grilling season is coming up!
The location is perfect, especially since we don't have a car. Downtown is a two minute walk and the university is about a twelve minute walk.
