Every time I have a school holiday, I tell myself I will finally sit down to do some translation work—and then I plan a trip! This time it was to Newcastle, Tynemouth, Gateshead, Leeds, and Sheffield. I did get some work done after all, since I visited libraries everywhere and chose some books for our school library. The highlights of the trip were seeing the North Sea coast at Tynemouth, visiting the Lit & Phil in Newcastle, Durham Cathedral, and the Central Library in Leeds (an amazing building, even though it is currently under renovation). I got to catch up with a friend in Leeds who showed me around the university campus including the historic Brotherton Library. And in Sheffield I enjoyed an Ash Wednesday service at the cathedral, seeing the botanical gardens, and browsing the Rhyme and Reason Bookshop.
