Maairy may not have claimed many 'Air Miles' in the last couple of weeks but she has been very busying studying for her Thesis and doing a lot of Veterinary networking.
She has attended 2 of her sponsors (Sheep Veterinary Society)'s 'Talking Sheep' meetings - at Nottingham University's Veterinary College and back home at Northumberland's Agricultural College, Kirkley Hall. There has also been a trip to London to meet (no not the Queen) the President of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons President, Peter Jinman and a visit to the Lake District, taking in a Liverpool University Veterinary re-union and an energetic hill climb during which she had a very interesting discussion with some Beef Shorthorns.
While in Nottingham Maairy enjoyed a bite of grass and a pint of Black Sheep at the historic Trip To Jerusalem Inn, the oldest in Britain, serving weary travellers since 1189. Rooms here are carved from the rock below Nottingham Castle and were the gathering place for Richard III's Crusades. This venue has so stimulating Maairy's wander lust that she has immediately packed her bags and is now on her way to the Falkland Islands!
