[Coppers 58]

Here's wishing you a wonderful twenty-second birthday, Sylvester!

[Sylvester 15]

Thanks Coppers!

Just to treat myself i'm off on a day trip to the deep south of England, so whether i'll be back on before tomorrow who knows?

22 already! You were 19 when you came here weren't you?

Everyone has birthdays around this time, that can't be a 'coin'cedence.

Happy birthday and be careful of all those southerners with their jellied eels and funny voices. They don't feel like we do

Yep i was 19, that was a while back.

There are alot of coin folks birthday around this time indeed, i had noticed that. May-August seems to be the buzz period.

Anyhow thanks guys i had a lovely day down in Winchester, i've been meaning to pay it a visit for several years, finally i got the chance. The cathedral's particularly interesting, a bit weird though being stood in the same building where the physical remains of kings; Egbert, Ethelwulf, Eadmund, Eadred, Edwy, Canute, Harthacnut and William II are! Not to mention Emma of Normandy, and former Bishops of Winchester; Stephen Gardiner (who married Mary Tudor and Phillip II of Spain, incidentally in the same building), Richard Fox (who worked for Henry's VII/VIII) and of course my old favourite Henry of Blois.

Word has it that Jane Austin is lurking there too but i missed that one.

Although Alfred the Great was buried there he went missing.

So yeah it was a weird day packed full of actually 'meeting', or rather sharing the same building space as a whole ton of dead people i've spent years reading about and studying.
