Great visit from former colleagues.

TheOldPlace sent 5 folk down today. 10 more on an identical trip in July. I'd been a bit apprehensive of it beforehand not knowing quite what they wanted and thinking maybe it was a long way to come just for a tour of the library.

We started with coffee and the Head gave a talk introducing the extension - plans, architect's competition, building, opening and use.
We had a fairly extensive tour for an hour or so including 'behind the scenes'.
Then a look round some of the web resources.
Lunch in the nice cafe opposite.
Then back to the train station via most of the rest of the campus.

Seemed to go very well and I was suprised by how energised I was by seeing former colleagues. I hope it was useful/fun/interesting for them too.
