Had a very pleasant week in Durham last autumn. Particularly enjoyed the University Botanical Garden and I was also impressed and moved by the Cuddy statue in the shopping centre near the Premier Inn. It's an interesting place with very friendly people. Parking, however, is an utter nightmare.
Haha! Yes, parking can be tricky - it doesn’t help that they built a new county council HQ (now turned Business School) on what was the big visitor car park near the Premier Inn. Love the Botanics, and all the riverbank walks ❤️
Reading this on the train to Newcastle, Ellen, heading across the border and towards Northumberland and your words have my heart pulling at the north-east even more than usual. Love these quick flashes of memoir (which feel very polished to me), and the link of “kitten mouth” to candyfloss, the names of villages and those imagined ones of graduating students, the description of joyful peaceful protest against hard things x
I love that train journey Clare, and hope you have a fab childfree weekend in the Toon! I’m enjoying the challenge of writing flash memoir in a small amount of time/words but itching to go back and polish up further.
