First blog post!

This is a test entry more than anything else.

I walked around St Albans on Tuesday taking some photos, firstly to have as a reminder of home once I'm in Ecuador and secondly because who knows, I may find that they come in handy at some point when teaching. I took ones of the Clock Tower, French Row, St Albans Abbey Cathedral, Fishpool Street, the war memorial garden with the tower of St Peter's church in the background, Verulamium Park and the stream/ ford at St Michaels, and the Robin Hood and Ye Olde Fighting Cocks pubs.

I'm off to Manchester on the Megabus tomorrow, returning with Dave on Sunday. Then I'll have two full days in St Albans before I leave at 6.20am on Wednesday morning (the 15th)! I really want to visit the bluebell woods in Sandridge before I go, so long as the weather's good, so hopefully I'll be able to do that on Monday or Tuesday.
