Well, I've been reading everyone else's posts about the weekend at GB, and I don't (well, I could, but shouldn't) have time to go into detail about the whole thing. I'm supposed to be working you know?! And internet access isn't as regular as it has been (I need to get round to sorting it out at home, but for the moment, it's quite helpful not being hooked up- reduces distractions!) with the library on stupidly short opening hours (bah! it's only the postgrads here in the summer, who cares?!) I've been trying to keep my time here on more important matters.
Anyway, despite this, I thought I couldn't not say anything, but I promise, I'll be good, and get back to the work in a moment...
So, yes, greenbelt. I understand now why people have been trying to get me to go for so long. I enjoyed every bit of it. I didn't see or hear everything I would have liked to, but I knew before going this was inevitable, and resolved not to be dissappointed about it. I went to a few interesting talks, heard some new music, and learnt a lot more about Dr Who than I thought I would! Perhaps the best bit was meeting people. I met people I'd known for years (the next generation of 'young people' from my home church were there with leaders), people I'd only ever met once before (apologies for saying hello to random people- I hope I didn't scare anyone too much!) and some who I'd never met, but felt like I knew very well already (hmm, can you guess who?!) Some I met intentionally, and some just by good luck and happening to be in the same place at the same time! Hopefully it won't be too long till we meet again, but if nothing else there's always next year!?!?
Anyway, that's all. I may post some GB inspired thoughts when things have calmed down a little. Right, back to work...
