My trip to Kew went very fast but I think I got a lot out of it. I have just put the photos on the computer and most of the documents are readable so that is a relief! Now I will have to plough through them to see what is relevant...hopefully lots!
The sleeper train seemed a good idea at the time I booked it but it was long and cold. SO cold on the way to Glasgow that the steward let us use the beds to try to keep warm under the blankets! Not much sleep to be had.
The archives training workshop was great. All the papers were interesting and informative although quite depressing hearing tales of how difficult Russian archives and archivists can be! Hopefully I will get a place on the Moscow trip next Easter and that will be a gentler introduction to the big ones than going on my own.
