 Nice pics!
 There was a tad more snow than I thought when driving over the hills!
 Right!
[17:15] <ahoneybun> oh man in a few days I turn the big 25
 @ahoneybun, BIG, would be if the numbers were reversed :P
[17:18] <ahoneybun> well 25 is 1/4 my life depending
[17:18] <ahoneybun> so still big in this case I think
[18:17] <wxl> hah i remember 25
[18:17] <wxl> oh, wait
[18:17] <wxl> no i don't
[18:17] <ahoneybun> xD
[20:37] <valorie> acheronuk: what is the valley we're looking over there? And is that a little stone circle off to the right?
[20:38] <valorie> gorgeous there -- we have about that same amount of snow here
[20:55] <acheronuk> valorie: The Severn valley. The wall on the right is a slightly tumbledown border wall of a very small church graveyard
[20:56] <acheronuk> There are circles and barrows to be found not far away, and the hill in the distance has iron-age earthworks on the top
[20:57] <valorie> wow
[20:57] <valorie> I've read about the Severn Valley, yes
[20:58] <valorie> my background is anthropology, and I'm about 1/4 Scots with lots of other northern European ancestors
[20:58] <valorie> those circles, barrows and other earthworks fascinate me
[20:59] <valorie> but so do old graveyards
[21:00] <acheronuk> Nor far away: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/uley-long-barrow-hetty-peglers-tump/
[21:01] <valorie> I was a huge fan of lord of the rings in my teens and twenties
[21:01] <acheronuk> some of the places here, you feel like you had walked onto the set
[21:03] <valorie> well, you have done so!
[21:03] <acheronuk> pretty much, based on what Tolkien based his writings on!
[21:04] <valorie> all those Inklings tramped about the countryside a lot
[21:05] <valorie> NOVA here (PBS science show) has archaelogy shows about digs in England rather often
[21:06] <valorie> and also the "how they could build Stonehenge" episodes, which are also fascinating
[21:08] <valorie> have you been into the barrow?
[21:09] <acheronuk> Oddly no. Something I keep meaning to do.
[21:09] <acheronuk> If I do, I'll take pics
[21:12] <valorie> if I ever visit your neck of the woods, we'll go
[21:12] <valorie> and I'll buy you a pint or two
[21:13] <valorie> speaking of travel, are you thinking of coming to Vienna for Akademy?
[21:13] <valorie> it will soon be time to ask for funding
 pondering it
[21:18] <valorie> good to hear!
[21:19] <valorie> yofel_: you gonna show up this year?
[21:19] <valorie> I'd love to have another Kubuntu meeting, a bit better planned this year
[21:20] <valorie> last year was incredible, and this promises more -- Vienna is so amazing
