Oh, yes, of course I will bring you more chocolate digestives, Debs. But if you eat them all in one day as you ate the supply of Flake I brought back last year, I won't be too happy. :-) And thanks Aunt Margaret for your email and updates on more cute Peter phrases. Can't wait to see them all when I get back! Maybe you'll have to have an ( Read more... )

So I guess I don't really have to post in this anymore, do I? Actually, it just seems kinda self-centered but I'll just continue to write and you each make the individual choice whether to read it or not. :-) I'm trying to type quietly because everyone is having a "lie down" and the computer is on the 2nd floor with them. Oh, well. Up on the ( Read more... )

Had a great last day! Walked 6 miles because I stubbornly refused to use transportation and saw Charles Dickens house, the British Library, the British Museum, and Tate Britain. Made fajitas for a bunch of people on my hall. Went to St. Pauls with Evie and walked on the Millennium Bridge. Went jogging with Rob (guy from my group) to see the park ( Read more... )

So on my last day here, I am definitely not spending it sitting at a desk updating you on every thought that passes into my barely used brain. Instead, I am heading on a long walk to: Dickens House (never seen before), the British Library (loved it last year when I took Faith), the British Museum (also a great place) and the Tate Britain (never ( Read more... )

:-( Not too happy about this although the thought of pebble beaches, gay bars, thousands of tourists in skimpy beach wear is naturally drawing me towards Brighton...Okay, not quite ( Read more... )

First, the comments section should only be used for actual comments. Anything else should be sent in an email to the person it is directed to. I do have the power (mwahaha) to delete any comments as I see fit.

Second, it is proper protocol to include at least your first name when commenting. Negative points to anyone who doesn't do this.

Also, upstairs pubs with 50+ students in one small room is NOT a good idea. Neither is drinking Guinness on an empty stomach in a crowded, hot area.

Please direct any further questions about the history of Brighton to Mark Davenport as I can't be relied on for any other info than what is written in this update ( Read more... )

The only reason to add this to my journal is so you can all be impressed by the fact that having finished a history of London, I am now reading a short history and some magazine articles on Brighton and Hove. (Aren't you proud, Dad?) And if I have to endure reading about it...so should you! So for my first excerpt, here is a bit about Hove ( Read more... )

My class is over. It was sad, actually, for it to end. I had to shake hands with everyone in my class and I might meet up with one of the girls later on this afternoon. Funny, I never spoke to her before today but she sat where Ben always sits and we ended up talking ( Read more... )
