Home week - Back home in England, me and mum spent two days washing all my clothes and unpacking all my papers and Canadian treasures while I regaled many stories from the year. I saw a bunch of my friends on the Saturday at my surprise party which I had known about for about a month. Jon’s 21st party was good fun too and I basically just spent the week catching up with friends and family.
Lancaster month - Having moved in with Amy and her house mates, I settled into a new work routine. AKA; out into the field, back to the library and so on. This mad month was broken up with a few climbing trips including the Chris Bonnington weekend and a visit to Robin Proctors’ Scar which incidentally, is located at the valley entrance to my field area. I also spent a lot of time celebrating the end of the year with certain climbers and members of my course, a typical night entailed a visit to Grad bar with Strugs, Gary, Sam and Brennan or sitting on Bonny steps or in Strugs and Brenan’s kitchen with a few pints. The climbers went to the Carlton for the annual pioneers bar crawl one Wednesday, all of us dressed in bright lycra and wearing harnesses. I won’t say too much about my field work apart from that I’ve had a few successful outings with either Sam or Strugs as my field assistant, and we usually manages a pub tea and a pint every now and again to celebrate a hard day’s work. My dad even came up one day to see what all the fuss was about; he had a kip in the field while I was hard at work looking at rocks.
