Betsy's furnace is broken, too? What the hell is up with these furnaces? Don't they know it's cold? Lousy shirkers.
Walking Hadrian's Wall sounds fun. I should probably do some of the long walks I want to do in my own country, first.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I loved the Viking museum and the city wall. Now that I think about it, I'm a wall freak rather than a castle freak. I love how the London wall appears at odd places. It's really all part of my Roman Britain obsession. As a child, I went from a dinosaur obsession to a horse obsession to a Roman Britain obsession kicked off by Rosemary Sutcliff.

I wonder if I'll ever get to England in this lifetime.

Uh, you must have my super-preppie rather conservative liberal arts college confused with Oberlin or something.

If I only had a brain...
Don't they know it's cold? Lousy shirkers.
I was thinking this, too. Then Captain Logic showed up and hit me over the head and pointed out that in warm weather, *the furnace isn't running.*
Curse that Captain.
Also? 60 degrees here. I R a wimp.

I loved the Viking museum and the city wall.
Me too! I also loved the York Castle Museum, which is not about castles, but about everyday life in Britain. It had displays of things like different kitchens through the ages, the evolution of the toilet, etc. Part of the fun was tagging along behind some elderly women, who would look at various displays and start reminiscing about how their grandmother had a stove just like that one, and so on.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
In terms of English cathedrals though, there's just something about the ruins of Glastonbury that do me in. It's such an amazing and obvious blend of pre-Christian and Christian legend.
I have to say I'm partial to Tintern Abbey in Wales--not just because it's Welsh, but because it was so dramatically placed.
Mine did.
::sticks tongue out::
Not sure there would be much to see at Eweford Cottages, SA, but here's a link to Dunbar itself. It is a charming place, plus of course there's a ruined castle :)
One can never visit too many castles. Really, though, it ends up being how difficult it is to wrangle transportation to all these places, and how tired we end up being from said transportation.
It's really all part of my Roman Britain obsession.
I have that. It's why Caerleon was rather fucking cool.

Speaking of, when I was in Germany I met a chick from Oberlin and reflected on you. Random moment, I know.
