I visited Durham once before but that might well have been more than twenty years ago. I remember the cathedral very well, but the town itself is much nicer than I remember.
I've spent the whole afternoon traipsing about, buying books in the cathedral gift shop and the local three storey Waterstones. If I didn't have a baggage limit, I'd have spent dangerous amounts of money in there...
So far this has been an extremely smooth trip. I collected my fabric-printed posters and the quality is excellent : better than our office's paper printer. Total delay on the trains : 4 minutes. Now I just have to survive the week and get down to Cardiff.

in reply to UK • • •I worked for a Veterinarian in high school.
His daughter, who by now was three decades old, had two lions as pets. No one knew. No one cared.
These animals were well cared for and the Veterinarian was on 24/7 call if necessary.
One day, the local newspaper did an article on her lions. What an uproar.
Idiots came out of the woodwork, much like this post, to complain.
