This town held me safe for six months and saw me grow like I didn’t imagine. It is not a very tourist based place it has an always moving feeling. Between the university and the business building, the town has many opportunities. When I could, I went to the abbey ruins and the museum to learn more about the history of the place. I wanted to visit more park and discover the hidden gems but the pandemic happened. What I did more was wander around the university campus and their green spaces. The river, the gardens, and an empty building became my only exploring ground during the lockdown. Always with safety, of course. I am thankful for my time there and even though I feel like it wasn’t enough. I want to come back and explore what I couldn’t. Thank you, Reading. // athena.
