Lunch at Browns
We had lunch here in between the morning and afternoon mathematics talks, and before Robin had Xavier’s hair cut.
One of the students showing us around Jesus college, on hearing that we came from St Albans said he knew a limerick about our town
There once was a man from St Albans
Who had an enormous cranium
I know that doesn’t rhyme
But it did at the time
Because St Albans was called Verulamium
Now who couldn’t fall in love with a place full of such delightful limerick-reciting students.

A funny limerick and still you haven't told me who St Albans was?
Hey, nice drawing, good to focus on the girl and not on the peripheral other diners.

That made me giggle. I liked the sketch, too.
seems tardy
Lovely drawing - and thanks for sharing the limerick.
Wendy I thought I did. St Alban was the first English martyr and died here - which was why the town eventually changed from Verulamium to St Albans.
