If it was possible to be keener and more excited about libraries: I would be. The week left me invigorated, confident, and eager to get stuck into the first module. The other students and staff were so friendly and encouraging and the place... well, I never expected to be charmed by it. Utterly, utterly charmed.
I spent a decent amount of time at the beach, and got my feet wet in Cardigan Bay. Cardigan Bay!- why would you want to do a library degree anywhere else? It has a funicular railway too, and you can't have a funicular without fun... or, icular... you get what I mean.
Beer was also good: Brains Black comes highly recommended, especially from one who doesn't normally venture to the dark side.

One of the real high points was our Welsh lesson, never has a language class been delivered with more passion and enthusiasm. The experience of joining 26 other trainee librarians singing My Hat it has Three Corners in Welsh, very loudly, will never be forgotten. So thank you Aber and Aber folk: you cheered me right up!
