:shocked:

I live and work in the Great Park. =x

I'm a seasoned 'traveller' - I was mentally ill and went to Berlin and Frankfurt. And up north and I woke up in the Lake District once and had no recollection of driving there. I'm going to Berlin again on the 14th of next month for my 30th, I have no idea why I booked it because I'm going hosteling alone.

I keep telling myself I'll meet people when I get there. It's only for four nights, I'll be fine.

I hope you enjoy your travels and stay safe freeatlast.

You will be fine! I quite frequently go travelling alone and even if you don’t meet people you click with sometimes it’s nice to have your own space and just random conversations!

I was on drugs when I booked it. It seemed like a great idea at the time and the flights were cheap.

Love the Great Park! Used to walk there all the time. Must be beautiful to live there and be free to do the long walk to the horse as often as you like.

The last time I went to Berlin I met people, they all spoke really good English as well. And I seriously need a break, my head has been done in recently.

Not much to lose then if the flights were cheap. Try and enjoy it and stay safe. Berlin is awesome with some great walking tours.

I went to see Stephen Fry when he did a tour. :D It was so, so good. I was so close to him! I don't usually get funny about famous people, but he's just... I'm going to marry him one day!


My Grandpa used to be head of maintenance at Royal Holloway. :)

I like Stephen Fry too.

I went to Wittenberg the last time I went to Berlin and gave up cocaine there. Lutherstadt inspired me, I've not touched it since. This time I'm going to the zoo and to see the cathedrals.

Sorry but I think you may be the wrong gender for Stephen Fry. :0)

Will you take lots of photos when you are there?

It gets quite busy but it is nice really. =) The long walk is too long for me though! You should visit Savill Garden if you haven't already. ;-)

Yeah, I've got a camera that I take places with me. I usually go to the botanical gardens and take loads of photos of plants. I'm an oddity.

I love botanic gardens. I like taking photos in the botanical gardens in Glasgow.

I do that too, FreeAtLast.

Ah this thread is great. Food topics and now plant topics. All my favourite stuff.

But how do you know which gender I am, FreeAtLast? :P And it's OK, I just want him to live in an adjoining house (with a tunnel we can use to move between them), so we can live separately, but he can sit and tell me clever things all day. :)

I had my first psychotic episode in the botanical gardens in Glasgow. And Kelvingrove park - I avoid those places now. And the university.

Hahaha, I'd even go for a marriage like that with Stephen Fry. And I just assumed you're female, sorry.

That’s a shame. Those are my favourite places, but I understand that it would be distressing for you.

I'll go back when I'm fully recovered. I'm meant to be going back to uni in September, I'll be cured by then.

QI without Stephen Fry is on now.

I hope you find recovery.

I’m so cosy. I have a thick onesie on and the fire on and I’m sitting on my rocking chair.

I like Sandi Toksvig, she's a good replacement.

Hahaha, you can come and listen to Stephen tell you clever things too. :) And it's OK, I was joking - I am female. It says so in my profile. :) I'm sure Stephen wouldn't REALLY mind though...


What do you study?


I live two minutes from a beautiful park and seven minutes from the beach. <3

I'm lying on my bed drinking lemonade. You sound cosier, I'd love a rocking chair.

I think Sandi Toksvig is good too. But she's not Stephen Fry!

I'm a divinity student on a sort of ... sabbatical.

I'm so full of potato....

Potato is always good!

Yes I'm not really complaining. =) Sweet potato too.

Ooh I haven’t had sweet potato in ages.

I only tried sweet potatoes for the first time last year. They're starchy but good.

Healthier than normal potatoes.

I like Cajun sweet potato wedges. =)

Oh I love anything with Cajun spice. All this talk of food should be making me hungry.

Maybe we just haven't mentioned the right food yet.

Yum! Cajun chicken!

I have a blueberry muffin? Want one, FreeAtLast? I have four and two of them are going in the freezer if there're no takers...

I'll swap a portion of shepherd's pie for a muffin? =P

I'll keep one for when I'm starving later. I'm having a weekend fast until I sober up.

Deal! :D


I spoke to my Mum on the phone. :) Though forgot that she's on an early at the children's hospice tomorrow and I think I woke her up... :/ She seemed happy enough to talk though. She's so good to me. :)

My all time favourite food is asparagus soup. Delia does the best recipe. Or Lorraine Pascall's butternut squash soup.

Your mum sounds lovely. =)

Mine doesn't tolerate being woken up!

Mums are great like that.

I love butternut squash soup.

Your mother does sound lovely, especially if she works at a children's hospice.
