Berkeley Springs? Really. So close, yet so far. About an hour from us. Folks there come to our town to shop, as we have a mall. Lovely town B. Springs. We looked at homes there, but settled here. A few of the Spoutwood Faery Clan live in those hills. Mountain Tribe.
The Residency looks delightful. Good luck inspiring all the young hopefuls. Also the drive down, that long golden joy that I love in the Shenandoah Valley. I think the Valley one of great beauties of the US. Certainly there are grander vistas, but we would love to own a farm in the valley. Also, I assume you have already realized that you'll be but 2.5 hours to Abingdon. A certain Mr. Vess is down that way.
Six weeks puts you heading north again in late July, so please let us know if you care to make a side track.
Of note, I am tearing my way through the Borderland paperback, unearthed from the depths of our library, in preparation for the journey that new Anthology will be. I already explored some it it's offerings, but thought to start at the beginning, as it may be. The middle will have to hold till I can find them. I will start Charis tomorrow night. This evening, I am de Lint's man.
So, in honor of your leaving: "If well you should find us then well let us stay, Be it seven times better when you make your way, Be it seven times better when we greet the dawn, So light up our way and keep us from all harm." ~Traveller's Prayer, Jon Renbourn
(I considered the Tefilat HaDerech, but thought to keep it simple!)
