Wow, Stroud takes me back 30 years to my life at Warwick in the early 80s! A very distant memory. The engineering department was brilliant then, not sure what it's like now. Lovely campus, though many tell me it's unrecognisable now.

I did German A level back in the 1970s at school in Staffordshire and our German teacher sometimes took us to the Arts Centre to see subtitled films - The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum and Death in Venice spring to mind. Twenty-odd years later the organisation I worked for had its annual conferences there for a while. One year I was breastfeeding, so DH and DS1 came too; DS1 even had his own delegate's badge, job title, 'Mummy's Little Helper' :lol:

But I digress... Going back in the 90's, quite a bit at Warwick was new and unfamiliar, but going back a third time this year with DS1 for an open day - :!: - the only bit that really felt familiar was actually the inside of the Arts Centre and the long concrete walk to the 'Welcome to Warwick' talk. DS1 was there to find out about their Biochemistry degrees, but we may be back again in four years' time to investigate Engineering, as this seems to have replaced Archaeology in DD's affections :) .

Thanks toadmum, I've never been back, so it was nice to recall stuff - I remember seeing Motörhead (one of my favourite bands at the time) at the arts centre all those years ago. Can't believe it's still there.

I think I'll show that post to the children, they have such great opportunities but don't appear to value them......yet, maybe one day they'll realise their achievements (oh and the efforts of their parents!!)
