Following on from the previous thread as our young adults start their second year at universities up and down the land (and some overseas too!).

That's a fab view from your DS's student house @MrKlaw!

Yes great view! @MrKlaw

Nice to see the picture with view! I am not sure what view my son has in Bristol as he is very central although they have some kind of roof terrace for the 2 of them although that got loads of water gathering on it in the middle he said during the torrential rain recently. Hopefully it found a way to drain away safely.

Did you just see that a central Bristol (University) accommodation block has been 'locked down' today @Xenia? 300 students being quarantined. It looks as if it could be a privately-owned hall of residence?

Love a room with a view and they don't come much better than that one @MrKlaw.

@NewModelArmyMayhem18, yes my DSs friend is there. He has already done over a week SI Confused

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 09/10/2020 13:59

Is that Newcastle Gin?

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 09/10/2020 14:18

DS is living in the middle of a 'naice' but boring, modern estate so his view is not stunning (but could be worse).

That’s a lovely view too!

bigTillyMint · 09/10/2020 16:10

Lovely autumn tree @Ginfordinner

Ginfordinner · 09/10/2020 16:28

Yes it is @Horsemad. Leafy Jesmond.

Benjispruce2 · 09/10/2020 16:54

Wishing all the poorly ones well soon.Brew

Horsemad · 09/10/2020 17:05

Thought so @Ginfordinner - that's where DS's flat was last year. 🙂

Letsgoforaskip · 09/10/2020 17:08

Oh wow! That's a beautiful view!

Benjispruce2 · 09/10/2020 17:14

Blimey those views are lovely. Haven’t got a picture of DD’s but it’s just a row of terraced Victorian houses onto the street. Though Durham is full of lots of lovely views.

Ginfordinner · 09/10/2020 18:14

Jealous of @Letsgoforaskip's son.

Baytreemum · 09/10/2020 18:35

Loving the views everyone! Very uplifting! Don’t seem to be able to put my DD’s on but she has a lovely view of the castle, I hope all the poorly ones feel better very soon. xx

icanbewhatiwant · 09/10/2020 18:40

@MrKlaw that's a lovely view. My iPhone now has a little video too. But only from photos on my phone. I only have about a years worth on it. It just played me a day when we were at the seaside 😄

icanbewhatiwant · 09/10/2020 18:41

@Letsgoforaskip another great view.

bigTillyMint · 09/10/2020 18:52

Wow @Letsgoforaskip, I think your DS wins, for me!

@Benjispruce2, my DSs is the same! Wouldn’t it be funny if they are next door neighbours Grin

Just ft with him - he’s actually enjoying SI!!! Got into a routine with his housemates of studying/exercising/playing Fifa/watching footy! Managed to get a Tesco delivery too Shock

Benjispruce2 · 09/10/2020 19:12

I know @bigTillyMint! What letter does your DS’s street begin with? Hmm

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 09/10/2020 19:46

That view is stunning @Letsgoforaskip. Idyllic even!

Your DS is #livingthehighlife there @bigTillyMint Grin!

Newmodel, yes I saw. I think it might be one of the cheaper blocks in the city centre as I did not recognise the name.
