[DRHA Conference]

I'm back home not even an entire day, and am mourning the loss of the Dartington scenery. Every morning I woke up early (hard to believe, I know) and stretched my legs with ambles across the extremely beautiful and lush countryside. I'd come back ready for a nice breakfast with shoes damp from the dew and colour in my cheeks. What a refreshing way to commence the day.

Throughout each day we were able to choose between attending panel sessions (like the one Simon and I presented at), posters, installations, and dramatisations of all sorts. On the evening of the first day we were treated to two distinctive concerts and on the morning of the final day we were treated to very gory pictures of Stelarc's latest project.

At break times we savoured additional walks, chatted to each other (about research naturally) used the Nintendo DS's picto chat, or trained our brains on the DS. Although the DRHA conference was about work and learning and connecting, I feel like it was a bit of a holiday. The amazing scenery and chilled nature of the delegates and organisers made this a conference I won't forget.




These are the mad cows Ron came across on one of his many amblings. Thank goodness I didn't!
