Herstmonceux

I seem to be in Sussex, or wherever the heck this is. Herstmonceux Castle, at any rate, way down on the far side of London and a heck of a long way from Glasgow. However, it’s the venue for the annual gathering of the British Interactive Group, which goes at least part-way to explaining my presence.

‘Twas a rather nice trip down, actually, watching hot air balloons around Oxford and a parachute drop from a Hercules somewhere vaguely near Lyneham. Herstmonceux Castle itself is an atmospheric place, squatting in the dark behind its moat, guarded by bats. The bats are rather large, actually – too big for pipistrelles?
