Lovely day for a walk.
In Sheffield for the weekend, celebrating 25 years since graduation with an unofficial gathering of old house mates and friends. It was really great to see everyone.

When I was a kid going round to various universities trying to decide where to apply, I knew the moment I got to Sheffield that it was the right place for me. I don't normally make emotional snap decisions, and I don't really know how I knew, but I did. It's a decision I've never regretted. I had three great years there, and met some of the most important people in my life. Going back is a bittersweet experience. As we watched the freshers pouring out of the pubs (total carnage) I couldn't prevent a little stab of jealousy. I'd do it all again.
