Hi all,
I am very sorry for the belated nature of
this email – I hadn’t really realised until today that it’s
been over a week since I left Boston!
It’s very nice to be home, although Birmingham
is very dreary and dark and wet and windy – so from that perspective I
would like to be right back in Boston
with you!! Our house survived 2 months without me, and once I’d
removed the mouldy food from the fridge and cleaned the shower (eurgh!) it felt
like home once again! Of course, it is lovely to be back with [my] James
and I’m looking forward to seeing my family this weekend. However,
I am missing you all so much! You were all very, very good to me during
my trip and I have never felt more welcome. Thank you all for being so
great and doing so much for me! J
On to the next bit I think you were expecting
to read: James and I have been talking and we are seriously considering coming
back over (at the moment we think it would be early 2011) for 2-3 years!
I am looking into postdoc fellowships from this end and Javier is doing the same
from his. I’m also crossing my fingers a lot too!! The main
issue would be James’ work visa…so we are talking to friends and
family and contacts in the US,
hoping that we might be able to sort something for him. There is always the
marriage option…!! Ahem…hmmm…yeah…!!
Anyway, yes, I have another favour to ask from you: we would really, really
appreciate any input you may have to help us attempt to solve this issue.
Thanks guys J
Well, I think that’s all for now. Hope
you are all well – has that cold gone yet, Danielle?!
Miss you!
Elizabeth (and James) x
