    New home

    I wanted to post a few pics from around my new home in England. The teaching portion of term ends next week, then it's almost two months of studying Latin soild.

    This is the Great Hall at Leeds Uni


    Some pictures from our daytrip to York:
    Outside the Yorkshire Museum


    A Roman Blacksmith's burial slab


    The Coppergate helmet!


    Yorkminster at night.


    Cheers,
    Nick

    York looks nice. I've always meant to visit there; I suppose I should have just studied there and it would have made it so much easier.

    P.S. From what I've heard about York's laws, I would refrain from wearing the kilt whilst inside the city.
