theatokosJust a post to say that we've made it. LJ on the library computer is weirdly formatted.
Travelling was easy and uneventful. Adam didn't read the fine print about our flight from Dublin to Cardiff and it turned out that it was a 55 minute flight on a prop plane. I can't even talk about how expensive the overfees were to get our bags on that flight. The check-in people thought were mad - and said so. But, what could we do? Certainly there was no going back or repacking!
Our student accomodation is gross. But we are grateful for it. We have one week. Hopefully we'll find a place and will be able to move in next Monday. We are looking at our second house this afternoon.
Quick highlights: the weather, the scenery, the green, the smallness, people are speaking Welsh, the Siop Fferm (Farm Shop) which sells produce, jams, cheese, sausages and honey from area farms, the Tuesday fish monger, my adviser is having us over for dinner tonight. I can't wait to get a kitchen of my own and start cooking.
I thought I saw![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
readthisandweep but I yelled her name and she didn't turn around. So, today I am wearing a magenta v-neck sweater, I have brown hair in a bob, and Bennett has a brown cap and Adam is in a white and green striped shirt and brown pants, and a black cap. If you see us, say hi! I don't have a cell phone yet, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for you!

Good luck with everything, not least the house. And welcome to Lampeter! Where we're on first name terms with the police & wave at them as they cruise through town!:)
