Given the choice of the two, I'd certainly prefer Leiden myself. :)

Good luck with the move, and I will try my best to see you before you depart these shores! Maybe another drink in that pub...

That was my preference too. Give a shout if you're around! We definitely need to say a proper goodbye to the Approach.

I suspect Leiden might also provide a better child-rearing environment? Best of luck to all of you, and if I don't see you before you leave, I expect a full report at the Con. :-)

Oh, I was hoping the Con would be for Astrid and Gwen much as it was for Emer and Charles!

Oh wow! And here I have an interview with NWO tomorrow (*quiet freaking out*) which would take me, in fact, to Leiden, if I got the fellowship. Fingers even more tightly crossed!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow then! What would the fellowship be on?

It's a Veni fellowship, meaning "whatever I proposed". In this case digging into the network of cultures of the late 11th century.

Not sure how well the interview went though, and I hear nothing until late July. :/

Sounds very interesting, shame they take so long to decide. Let's hope!

Thank you. I've packed lots of boxes already so will hopefully have time to enjoy the surprise summer.
