Durham, England - 28th November 2012

By: Gizalba

Hi mum! My host has been very busy working on some strange thing called an essay these last few days... it looks very boring to us TVs. 'We want adventure!' we said. So during a break Midori and I were permitted to explore the college grounds where we are staying, with supervision :p I'm not sure why I need supervision... I am very sensible and wouldn't get lost! ;)

Anyway it was a lovely winters day :) We found a nice tree to have a peaceful chat on until we got a bit cold despite our scarves and then wanted to start moving again. We wandered up some steps and posed for a picture there, but you can't see me very well. I was bathing in the sun B) The third picture shows the path down to the dining hall which you can vaguely see towards the right. That building is rather dull though so we walked back up to where the students live. I found some nice holly leaves which made me feel christmassy. In the background to that picture you can see one of the gyms, but my host have never been in there :p

Next we went through towards the court yard and found some candles. We wanted to light one to warm up but we didn't have a lighter :( My host said they must be there for one of the events they hold in the building that looks a bit like a church, but is used for parties. Then we went inside and up the stairs towards our room. I looked over the bannisters and saw the computer room where my host writes those weird things. I don't think the computer room will be very exciting. We nosied out of the windows as we climbed the stairs, and I nearly got blinded by the sun. We have had such torrential rain for the last few days though that the sun is a big relief. My host had to take a detour to lectures as the river overflowed and the path was over a metre underwater :o I said I could have swam and met some ducks, but my host said that the water was too mucky and the ducks had disappeared :(

P.s. Sorry some of the photos are smaller than others, we converted their size in bulk so I don't know how that's happened?! Strange :stare:
