Then my sister lived there for a few years. Then I had a job which sent me a few times for meetings. And I never got to Oxford! Finally a few years ago went to Ireland with husband on vacation, connected through Heathrow and I craftily suggested I stay a few extra days. Purposely found hotel in the not-interesting area around Paddington Station because the airport train goes in there and the Oxford train goes out! Wonderful day in Oxford.Not enough but memorableTrisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058396345946250313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-11287181471692043642018-10-18T20:34:58.359-04:002018-10-18T20:34:58.359-04:00Hi Sally, I think I agree with you that vampires a...Hi Sally, I think I agree with you that vampires are best if they stay tucked between the covers of a novel, or in a TV show.

It's such a lovely memory, too, because my Gramma Minnie taught me how to know, and crochet. And how to type. These days, I'm more of a typer than a knitter, but I do enjoy it, and think, actually, it seems like magic. (And I am still laughing about how you told us you are not undead.

He or she doesn't have to hunt, as we have good blood banks etc now (and they run their own private one, btw, so don't steal blood from those who need it!). They don't need money as they've had centuries to accumulate wealth. What they have too much of, is time. I think they're biggest problem is boredom. So, they definitely sit around gossiping and solving murders gives them something interesting to do. I'm not sure that they crack jokes, so much. Though I may introduce a wise-cracking vamp at some point. How fun would that be? The humor is mostly coming from Lucy, this normal (ish) young woman, coping with this bizarre situation she finds herself in.Nancy Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10760768485497623945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-48633047113228294402018-10-18T13:01:49.341-04:002018-10-18T13:01:49.341-04:00Hi, Nancy.

There's still time to learn though. I did read a Titanic and zombies mash-up, and it surprisingly was not bad. I too love mysteries or stories set in Oxford, and am really looking forward to diving into yours.
