Stormin' and Norman

What could be more architecturally arresting than the soaring solidity of Durham Cathedral at the heart of this extraordinary northern city?


But while Mr Gnome treads the tourist trail, I am immured in the cloistered confines of a college for a week-long course on 'new media': Facebook, Twitter, blogging, podcasting...

All rather challenging.

Thanks to the brilliance and kindness of fellow-course members, I am slowly feeling less of a vegetable than I did at the outset.

More about the course here.

Onwards!
