Lynne very kindly fixed the brightness on my train pic from Guildford so you can really enjoy the train building I stayed in. Thank you, Lynne!! Friday was an interesting day as my friend Mrs H-B had her last day at work and I was very sad. A bunch of us went for a Mexican [...]
Yes, this building was shaped like a train. This was where I stayed overnight before I went on the Nvivo course. The architect certainly had a sense of humour as there was a busy train track very close by. I did manage to get to the town centre for a look round before dinner. Guildford [...]
I had to go to Bournemouth the Sunday after I went to Cambridge and as I’d been told it would take 7 hours to get there I decided to go early and make the most of the beach and try and see my very good friend Michelle at the same time. I had to take [...]
These beautiful flowers were planted by the porter’s lodge at Pembroke College where I was staying overnight. I stayed in this accommodation block which was quite nice but the best part was the view just outside: Here is a view from the other side of the accommodation. I would never do any study if I [...]
A number of Cambridge colleges offer visits at a small cost so I picked St John’s College at random as I was nearby. I was lucky as I got to see the Bridge of Sighs. I loved the big imposing archways leading to the different courts of the college. I think each college has it’s [...]

Happy Easter! We received this beautiful hand decorated egg from Auntie H – it looks too good to eat but we shall have to break into it eventually as the box promised handmade chocolates inside. Wishing you lots of kittens! Chocolate ones are particularly good. I thought these socks were like knitting striped Easter eggs. [...]
At last, I’m back home again and on holiday – woohoo! I started a pair of socks when I commenced my travels last Thursday and finished them off just yesterday. Canterbury to Cambridge 104 miles Cambridge to Canterbury 104 miles Canterbury to Bournemouth 164 miles Bournemouth to Guildford 87 miles Guildford to Canterbury 82 miles [...]
Got home from Cambridge last night and heading off to Bournemouth tomorrow. Still no sign of Perdita I am quite concerned now as I hoped that she might have shown up by now. She is probably fine curled up in someone’s house or something but they do make us anxious! The photo is just a [...]
pao let Perdita out on Monday when he was at home sick and she’s not been back at all. As the weather has warmed up and people’s thoughts have turned to gardening, we think she’s got herself locked in someone’s shed or garage because she is deeply nosey and if a door is open she [...]
