Rhodes House

I have been sitting in the Rhodes House library all morning. Looking outside, there is drizzling gently onto the surrounding gardens and buildings. I have been working on my independent study, which is falling behind. It is quite surreal, to be sitting here, reading theses and an expanse of literature on agriculture in Zimbabwe, thousands of miles away. Coming from an agricultural background, it seems so close, but yet far, all the events of the past fifteen years that has shaped the Zimbabwean economy, and country! The library is fantastic. Rhodes House was built after CJ Rhodes died, in his legacy. There is everything one could hope for in the stacks at the bottom of the library and very pleasant work environment. I certainly hope to be back here one day to do more studies.
