At home in Yale, playing chamber music again, media attention, visit from children, growing relationship with Richard Larson, trips to Switzerland, Colorado.
“Life proceeds happily here with a lot to do. I’m really enjoying the group of people here, as friends and research colleagues. Now autumn weather is setting in, and for the first time in many years I’m living with red oak leaves, chestnuts on the ground, and poplar smells in the air – all very nostalgic of Christchurch, which makes me feel happy. It’s strangely like a full circle in life – starting a new long-term life here, whereas in Christchurch every autumn felt like a new start. I have a sense of hope and power over the future that had escaped me for many gloomy years.”
Beatrice at Yale.
