It rained for the first time this morning as we were getting ready to leave London. I can't say I was too sad to leave London though...mostly because of that pigeon! He woke me up at 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am, and finally decided he was tired at 6am. I made my peace with him, and we headed off to the train station.
We arrived in Nottingham a few hours ago and it felt like I had come home. It's been 3 years since I've been here, but it all seems so familiar. In fact, I remembered the entire route to the tram stop and all the way into town. I love Nottingham. Last time I was here, I spent 4 weeks in a small room overlooking the courtyard of an old meat packing plant. Turns out, Hank and I are in that very same room...and it hasn't changed one bit. Talk about a blast from the past. At least I haven't found any spiders yet. The rest of the group doesn't get here until Saturday, so we have a few days of quiet. You'll all be happy to know that I bought a lovely cupcake at the grocery today too. It was lemon flavored.
I all sounds quite wonderful, especially the river cruise (and the lemon cupcake). Have you had a pasty yet?
ReplyDeleteWe had a pasty in Canterbury! It was delicious. Unfortunately, there aren't as many pasty shops around here.
