Another Soiree...

I'm back from Marrakesh and back to reality with a bump. I've got lots to do with a dissertation to write and of course an update on my Moroccon adventure. I'm still waiting for some friends to upload some holiday snaps so bear with me and I can get my holiday post together!

Until then, here are some pics from the Art History Soiree I attended a few weeks ago. While I don't study Art History anymore, I have several friends who still do and some are even progressing to a PhD in October. So I still have a fair few links to my old University department and it's nice escaping the Business School and returning to the 1930s grade II building I know all too well!

A couple of shots of my university on a particularly beautiful, sunny day! The clock tower is known fondly as Old Joe (short for Industrialist, Joseph Chamberlain who founded the uni).

    Gorgeous outfit, you carry the lippy off so well! Looking forward to seeing the holiday post, even though I've seen a few of your pics. I don't really want to be brought down to earth with a bump either and hope these last few weeks drag for as long as possible!
