Back to work

20 September 2007 | Stanstead airport
Cold, cold, cold!
This is Sarah checking emails at the airport on our journey back, not happy to re-submit to discipline. We took a cab to Arles, the train to Montpelier, and flew to Stanstead. We had hoped to take the train all the way, but couldn't make the times work with Sarah's commitment in Cambridge. Carbon-offsetting here we come.
The commitment was a seminar on the professional practice course in the Architecture School. It was fun (at least for the presenters); it turned out the other speaker was not only filled with relevant experience for the students, but was a keen sailor with a philosophy degree. Seemed a waste to talk about buildings really!
The next day (after fine hospitality from Ben and Mike), we took the train to Penzance, a marathon. Why is simply sitting on a train so exhausting?
