Safe Arrival, Home in England

---

After all the exotic travels, we landed and spent a few days with Ali & Birgitte in Oxford. The weather was gorgeous.

These lyrics seemed appropriate as we set off back to work and our new jobs - even more so in retrospect now that we've been working for a month and a half!

and it's goodbye to the sunshine
goodbye to the dew
goodbye to the flowers
and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I must not be late
going to work in tall buildings

In Tall Buildings
By John Hartford, 1976
