Yesterday [livejournal.com profile] gabbyhope and I sneakily rummaged around in [livejournal.com profile] lobelia321's private files while she was out ferrying children around. Hee! It is my opinion that Lobelia's fic archive may be the eighth wonder of the world. Do see it if you get the chance.

Yes, so I've had a very cool weekend. Gabby is lovely and we had a nice day in Cambridge, waxing nostalgic about fandom and stuff. Lobelia took us on an insider tour of Cambridge colleges, which I found rather exciting. We saw St Catharine's (including exclusive viewing of Dr Sackville-Baggins's habitat), Queens, Kings and Trinity. This is the secret to not having to pay to go in places - you just walk in purposefully, looking as though you're meant to be there. It works a treat. Then we perused the zine over scones in The Copper Kettle. Yay, it's fun to casually leave porn on display in public! "She touched the zine!" we hissed, after the waitress had come to clear the table. "She is soiled forever!" Ha!

Today my mum came over with my aunt and her partner, who arrived in the country yesterday from Venice, California. I knew my aunt's partner, W, was interested in 'old things' so I thought I'd have to actually show him stuff. But apparently, he's been doing extensive research on the town since March, so he took us all on a walking tour of medieval Ipswich, using a 15th Century map. It was great!

It's such fun being a tourist!

That tour with a 15th century map is such a cool idea, I'd like to do that sometime! *believes in exclamation points*

It was great - I looked at my town in a new way!
