Ipswich

Filed in Book Crossing, Britain 2005 (2), Motorcycle Road Trips

After Hitchin, I hopped on a train and went to Ipswich. I had to change at Cambridge. At Cambridge, the train filled up with teenaged school children. One of the girls decided that emitting bloodcurdling screams was a really fun way to pass the time, until a woman got up, tracked her down to her lair, gave her a severe telling-off, and got a round of applause.

Yay for British people.

In the meantime, reading a Book Crossing book (i.e. covered in stickers), I was discovered by another Book Crosser (bookgroupman) and we chatted on and off for the whole journey. I got a kick out of that.

I spent the next few days meeting with my friends in Ipswich: I stayed with and her beloved, and also got to play with , who came over on his new motorcycle and positively glows because he’s like me, the helmet comes with a smile attachment.

There were many hugs and lots of laughs and conversations and wonderfulnesses. SG gave me a guided tour of Ipswich where we did snarfing and Book Crossing. It was a wonderful few days.
