Leicester is a city of over 300,000 found pretty much in the center of England.

I visited Leicester – actually mostly a bit of ways outside of town – for a little more than day (barely 36 hours) and spent that time casually hiking, cooking, tuning string instruments, collaborating on a manuscript, and otherwise thoroughly enjoying myself.

The day prior to arriving I was in Brighton, England. Click here to see the Brighton leg of this trip.

Saint Pancras station on the way to Leicester. My train was delayed leaving by an hour due to a death on the tracks. Then it took an hour to connect with my host. That had us arriving at her place around midnight, outside of Leicester.




Where I stayed, two nights, outside of Leicester.




Local hiking.







This mound (right) is an ancient fortress.




















































Berry picking on the side of the road. It's fun to hang out with for-real biologists!






















Nice tree, with farm equipment.







Hiking along a former railroad line. Cliff snail!



















Botanical garden.










Associated manor.




And associated vegetable garden. Note the insane wall surrounding it. It's at least as tall as the greenhouse to the left.










My meal prior to flying.




Flying back I drafted out two manuscripts. Empty flights flying West across the Atlantic are good things!
