Golf and gown.

We are off to Hadrian’s Wall so a super quick post this morning. At one end of town the golfers are enjoying the sunshine. Four guys from Princeton pass us on the 15th hole. Seems there is to be a big college championship here next month and they're getting the lay of the land :https://standrews.com/articles/st_andrews_collegiate_2025_team_announcement

Preparations for the golf tournament well underway. Last year we met a couple who had bought a $10 million apartment in the block overlooking the 18th hole. They'd come over only to discover their view was completely blocked by the bleachers that had been built outside their windows. They were not happy. Lesson #1 in life - always read the small print.

At the other end of town the students have settled into their daily routines.  At the end of every hour the streets become thronged with youngsters heading off to their next lecture. Some walk on the pavements. Others wander contentedly , oblivious to cars and trucks, along the road.
