Tremough

Today has been fab, a leisurely start, pouring rain (who cares when you're on holiday) and then the bus ride up to the Tremough campus. I went first down to the walled garden to take photos and its much tidier and quite green and lucious. I then surprised James in his office and then went to meet Carrie for lunch, later I caught up wiht Robin too. It was so fabulous to see old friends and to learn all about the continuing development and progress. Mining Engineering and Renewable Energy - the most at risk programmes- are now flagship courses and have the highest recruitment. The building looks more established wiht trees and grass and offices and the noteiceboards are all now covered in chaos - people have colonised the space and it lives and breathes by itself. The buses to tremough are now 2/3 full of studnets too rather than empty with the odd poor solitary student wondering what on earth is happening, I bought the local paper today and there are no less than 6 stories about either the art school or the tremough buildings so it has definintely become a huge part of the local community landscape. Its great to be back and visiting but its also great to know that i'm on holiday and will soon go home to my own exciting job and great lifestyle which wihtout a doubt is a bit easier than getting around in cornwall - no matter how goreous or quaint the villages are!
