Am safely in Durham having negotiated the bus and two tubes across London to Kings Cross station with my heavy luggage. Not bad for an old lady, eh ! One of the advantages of my age is that people are actually offering to help me - there are gentlemen even in London- so I am accepting.
The train up here was very comfortable and they even have wireless internet access -plug in ! however, my little blue machine had decided to loose its LAN network connection and although I have tried for an hour an a half today to fix it I have not succeeded.
My friend Barbara , who I am staying with, does not have a PC so I am sitting in- yes, you guessed it- Durham Library using one of theirs. They actually let overseas people join and I got a choice of card colour- pink, green , blue or purple- I chose the latter.
It is a very nice library, which is quite new, about 5 years old. It is very quiet here on the Reference floor - there are three floors.
Durham is lovely and the weather is bright and sunny, but cold. Or , rather , it was today. It gets dark about 4p.m. so have to leave soon. I have explored some lovely shops today and now will go home for the evening.
