catching up

[usuallyhats]

HALLO. I went to Durham! And now I have come back. (Five hours on a train each way, more or less. But at least that gave me a chance to read The French Lieutenant's Woman and Bellwether and a bit of A Tale of Two Cities, and to listen to the second half of The Whispering Forest and the first half of Solitaire, and to knit some more of my sock, so it wasn't entirely wasted.) Anyway. The point of going was my college's five year reunion, which was great fun. We spent a lot of the weekend just wandering around old haunts in Durham, though sadly we couldn't go up Windy Gap* because it was closed. And there was a formal dinner on Saturday night, and there was supposed to be a bop but that didn't quite come off, oh well. Here are some photos on facebook, not particularly good ones I don't think, but never mind.

*no sniggering at the back, please.

Am so behind with the 30 days of Who meme! Oh well, it is not like I am doing it in order or anything.

I feel so bad for abandoning FYWhoLadies...;__;

Don't feel bad! It looks like it must have taken loads of work. *hugs*

I've never been to Durham, but it is so very pretty in your pictures. Your photo gallery makes me want to go on a tour of England's medieval cathdral towns...

It really is a lovely city. I think I partly put it down as my first choice because it was snowing when I went there for the open day and it was just so pretty!

(I love your icon!)

It's a long train journey, isn't it?

I did Bristol to Edinburgh about 2 months ago. I think the key to long train rides like that is to have something to do. Or sleep...

*nods* I went from Bristol to Edinburgh last year - did you get the high-speed train? That made it a little better!

Hooray for lengthy journeys to allow you to catch up!

The main advantage of taking the train: lots of reading time!
