Bit by bit my real world experience expands to include more of the people I've met only in the virtual sense, through blogging. We - me and WotN - just spent a very pleasant couple of hours chatting over a meal to this guy. Anthony was on his way back home, having been to a region not far north of here to deliver a lecture. We spoke about politics and blogging (of course) and climbing and running, in amongst a mouth-wateringly varied range of topics. This just a couple of days after Jackie came by, and didn't we all talk on that occasion too - especially Jackie and WotN. I'm telling you, it's like Grand Central Station round here.
Not especially closely connected to these get-togethers (though, I suppose I could say that travel provides a link, and stations): did you know that, if you google 'Coventry station', second up at the moment is this?
