Autumn Break

As we didn’t get much of a summer holiday, what with the small matter of a thesis to finish, we’ve just enjoyed a few wet and windy days in Dumfries.  We got completely soaked through at Caerlaverock Castle, the only triangular castle in Britain, went on a boat trip to Threave Castle and saw red squirrels in Dalbeattie Forest.

Now that we’re home, I have to make a real effort to find a job of some sort.  So priorities for this week include trying to get some school experience so that I can go back into teaching and reacquainting myself with my articles on John Roberts and the Lady Marques  ballad.

  1. Dear Jenni,

    What gorgeous photos! I hope it was a delightful holiday.

    As you get back into academic work this week, I wonder if you received my email regarding your thesis? No rush – I’m certainly not trying to increase your workload! – but if you didn’t get it I’d like to send a new copy of the email as I’d really like to chat with you about it.

    Cheers!
    Samantha

    1. I’ll be in touch soon, I promise! I’ve been having a long break from academe, but I’m finally getting back into things.
