Bournemouth - Langtry Manor

What a fantastic weekend! Langtry Manor is a historical B&B that preserves the romantic atmosphere it was built for. Here is a picture of Lin waiting for me to start breakfast in the center of the main dining hall. Playing in the background was Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite - Morning Mood. What a great way to start what would become an amazing day.

We first strolled through the town admiring historic English architecture, we then strolled along the beach admiring courageous English souls swimming in weather that could only be described as blustery cold. After a short run up a picturesque hill and a leisurely walk on the high street, we headed back to the manor for the 6-course English style banquet dinner. We met a fellow colleague who also works at Bloomberg - small world or secret spy? Alas, our guilty little secret has been discovered!

Got back to London Waterloo this afternoon. Though I wished we could spend more time together, she needed to go home, so I dropped her off at her train and secretly sent her a message saying I miss her. When I got home, I saw I had a message waiting from Lin. I thought to myself, aww, she got my message and is responding saying she misses me too and she had a great time this weekend. Instead, the message went like this: You took me to the wrong train! The right train already left!
