Victoriana

I was back at Bournemouth Uni today, acting as guinea pig in some more research: spatial navigation in the over sixties.  I had to memorise a driving route on the computer and do my best to remember all the turnings.  Given my lousy sense of direction and the fact that I once did one of those psychological tests they sometimes give you at work, and mine said I had poor spatial awareness - I doubt whether I scored well. Never mind, it was quite fun and I got £12 for my trouble.

Afterwards I explored the nearby Talbot Village, which was established for the deserving poor by two wealthy ladies.  Sadly it's being overrun by a nearby housing development, but it's still quite attractive.  If you look at the top of the black area of the post box you can just make out the letters "VR".
