Trip to Studley Royal

At present we are both extremely busy juggling work, wedding preparations and house alterations. It is all a bit manic, but we hope things will soon calm down!

On Saturday we managed to take the day off from said activities and went to Studley Royal, near Fountains Abbey http://www.fountainsabbey.org.uk/, a rather magnificent deer park and wildish forest area which some 18th century chap called John Aislabie decided would make a nice place to put a dam and make a big pond. We found it rather splendid, and did a good old walk.

Rachel experiments with a bridge:


Thomas-Thomas-James-John-Saxybyfarncombe - Peter's volvo. Peter bought this car in the autumn in order to facilitate smoother long distance trips. He is rather a fan of Volvos now and in particular the seats, which are excellent.

Congratulations! Married and with a volvo. Sounds like a fine way to pass the time. Hope you both have a great honeymoon. If you're ever as far north as Newcastle let me know. You can reach me at colin.murray@ncl.ac.uk.

How's teaching going?

Many (belated) congratulations on your marriage. I take it that Thomas has replaced Cecilia? Incidentally, I thought you might be interested to see that your former car's namesake recently made an appearance on BBC Young Musician of the Year.
