Bournemouth Visit

Yesterday, Gill and I drove to Bournemouth to visit Brian and to see where he studies. He's in his third year of four at the Anglo-European Chiropractic College there. We had a lovely drive - it takes two hours to travel sixty miles as there are numbers ( ... and I mean loads!!) of traffic circles and other time-consuming tricks of the highway. However, the scenery was delightful and the sun was shining. It doesn't get any better than that, right?

We saw Brian's living quarters - he shares a lovely house above a shop with three other 'mature' students. We also had a tour of his college (pictured here). For the catholics amongst you, you may make out that the building is an old convent. In fact, the present-day library is the former chapel and still has niches for statues (one had Priscilla, the human body that you can dismantle, only Priscilla had male appendages in this case), remnants of altars, and stained-glass windows.

We had lunch in a vegetarian restaurant (yum, yum) and also went for a toot by the seaside. It was a most pleasant day. Poor Brian had to put up with introducing the 'two mothers' to all those we encountered in his college. That ordeal should earn him a few notches above a pass mark!!

We're planning to hit the road again soon - after Judi and George's visit - to Oxford this time, to stay in the B & B where Brian and Lili are planning to have their wedding reception. There's no stopping us now! :-)
