I write to you from a stunning studio apartment in London, which my friend Debbie and I have rented to spend New Year’s. Twenty-ten, my friend! Can you believe it? We’re almost officially out of the naughties!(2000s) After spending a week of skiing in La Plagne in the French Alps, some parts of me are still readjusting to the lower altitude and urban life - a very weird development,...

Michaelmas Week 9
The term has officially ended - a whirlwind 8 weeks in which I’ve somehow accomplished the humanly impossible: 15 essays. 15 essays?! In 8 weeks?!
