Over the hills and faraway

Not, technically, that far really. Only 108 miles but a two hour drive in torrential rain.

Up early this morning to drive j across the Pennines to Lancaster University for their undergraduate open day.

Lancaster is his first choice for next Autumn, but the application process begins now. The entry requirements seem fairly steep. (AAA/AAB for English)However, he is undaunted and will no doubt get the grades needed. The apect he finds most attractive is the Creative Writing element of the course.

The aspect we find least attractive (even less attractive than the cost of it all) is the prospect of this drive in the winter months:

Our daughter left home for Uni today, exciting for her, sad for us! Luckily she is only an hours drive away so I will probably still get the laundry to do!
