Agreed Dianne - feels like yesterday and it's 45 years at least since i was doing my first degree at what was still Harris College in Preston. What I like about visiting a university as I did on Thurs is the mix of people -young ones having a good time and perhaps doing a little work sometimes, older ones like lecturers, and an atmosphere of intellectualism if that doesn't sound too snobby or patronising.
I spoke to Sir Harry briefly on Thurs and he remembered my PhD supervisor. That was good. As for your gaudy - sounds great but might be a bit intimidating - a bit different from my one to one chat on Thurs! Anyway Dianne, having been there and had the same experiences as me you know how I felt. Very stijmulated afterwards - enough to have my first glass of wine this year, have steered clear of it recently because of being on meds, but I thought what the hell, went down like strawberry pop - well a light fizzy rose on a hot summer day would, wouldn't it?
