Durham

Not sure how many of you are aware or remember the situation but Dylan's supervisor is originally from Durham, England. That was our original destination until his supervisor took up a post with St. Andrews. Anyway, all that is to explain that Prof. B has yet to move to St. Andrews so Dylan and I made a trip down to Durham about 3 weeks ago so that he can meet with his Prof. (for the first time!). Lovely city. Very quaint indeed! Main attraction in Durham is the cathedral. Boy, what a cathedral!!! It has one of the most beautiful stained glass windows I have ever seen and I have seen quite a lot, if I may say so. It's a shame no one is allowed to take pictures inside the church....well, I guess you'll just have to come for a visit and see it for yourself! :-)


And for you Harry Potter fans, Durham cathedral is where they film the scene where the kids played...where they flew around in their brooms......:-)

Here's some of the pictures I took while at Durham....
Pictures from the (moving) train... (amazing camera!)













Pictures from Durham....

(Dylan pouting because he wished to be in Durham at that point (as oppose to St.Andrews), surrounded by old books and the majestic cathedral....)

(have a wee read of the poster if you can...it'll give you a snippet of the history of the Cathedral)

(this house is next to the cathedral...completely engulfed by ivy - ivy league?)

Here's a few pictures of the inside of the church that I can find online....
