I have only been back since 3pm yesterday but I have already managed to upload the 1600 pictures we took – deleting the blurry and odd pictures, they are all tagged with people and places. I have rated the 164 that I want to scrapbook.

I even managed to get the last two weeks of Project Life up to date.

I’ll share some of my pictures over the next few days after I’ve done all the laundry.

Shanna.

Cheltenham

I went to university at the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham. I haven’t been back since I graduated 8 years ago until last Saturday.

I caught an early train or two to Cheltenham Spa. It was like I have never been away.

I googled the directions to the university but I managed to get there ten minutes earlier than it suggested it would take since I know the short cuts.

This is the refectory where I ate – I was really partial to their cheese and bacon Panini's with curly fries.

This was the dorm I stayed in my first year – Cooke Villa Room 101

And this is where I had most of my lectures.

After reminiscing I walked into town, using my remembered short cuts.

Some random sights.

I walked through the Regents Arcade and found Auntie Anne’s. I love their pretzels and so did my family when they came to visit.

It was 24 degrees – which is boiling in the UK.

Then I went to the Everyman Theatre – I saw Emma and Godspell here while I was at Uni.

And before you say I know I have a problem but I saw Save the Last Dance For Me again (I also have tickets to see it in Blackpool in ten days).

I sent one of the cast a tweet and they responded.

I had a great day. It was nice to go back.
