Yesterday I went to the VT Physics Christmas dinner. It was very different to the UCLan one. For example there was no alcohol, and it was very laid back. And it was just 1.5 hrs then everyone went back to work, or in my case, grocery shopping. I wish I could find one where there is a middle ground. Fun but without the enforced sense.
Anyway, I went early and got some photos in the Inn. They have a load of Christmas trees decorated by local business. They were really pretty, though my favorite was the elf one!

There was also a complete ginger bread house with a toy train.

The dinner was a bit disappointing considering the food at the Inn is normally really good. But they didn't have a lot of gluten free food, so I ended up with some salad, a small bowl of soup and some roast veg. But I did meet a new friend, which was the main reason for going. The VT Physics department is very isolated with few people talking to each other (like I said there really should be a middle ground between VT and UCLan). So it was good to get out and talk to new people.
I am having my own party on Saturday night, another wine party and it should bemuse more fun. I'm very excited though I have to do some serious cleaning first!
