Back in office: summer 2021	Thomas Wilson	2021-10-11T07:16:00	2021-10-11-back-in-office	false

After a year and a half of very new normal, summer 2021 was pretty perfect. I mean, the weather wasn't summery, being around a lot of strangers (and even friends) felt odd, and there seemed an awful lot of pressure to make this The Best Summer Ever.

I'm pretty grateful for a lot of small moments this summer.

Here are some of those moments:

• Moved to Oxford and filled a moderate-sized house with an unwise number of plants
• Climbed Helvellyn and Haystacks in the Lake District
• Ate food outside with friends
• Ate food inside with family
• Watched campfires
• Drank gin on hot evenings and cold nights from between clinking ice and wedges of citrus
• Cycled through sunny mornings and afternoons
