I know they are there all the time and not rare but it's as though you're seeing something you shouldn't, a private world, voyeuristic even. <i>I attended a conference in Oxford (non-topically entitled ‘global catastrophic risks’ </i> I hope you managed to save the world at the conference - we're all counting on you - it sounds very dramatic !

In July I attended a conference in Oxford (non-topically entitled 'global catastrophic risks' :-P ) The house I was staying at was about 40 mins from the city centre, so in the countryside basically. One day I decided to go out for a run along the lanes leading to fields with tall grass. So there I was minding my own recreational-jogging business and suddenly a young deer leaps out from the grass (which was almost as tall as me) I was more startled than it was; in fact I think it was actively trying to freak me out, as I continued running I kept seeing it's head pop over the grass every now n then. Bit surreal for a city person like me. And yeah, I love old churches aswell, not being religious or anything, I just love the nostalgic feelings yer get from them.

I envy you, I've spent two days stuck in front of a laptop in a hotel room with a beautiful view of the Lake District landscape. The sun shone all day and the river flowed fastly by. I would have loved to have been able to make the most of it. LB Rod,
