Advantages: Easy to read, easy to pick up and put down Disadvantages: Some of the stories overlap with another novel by the same author
Sandpiper is a collection of seven short stories by Ahdaf Soueif, who also wrote 'The Map of Love' and 'In the Eye of the Sun'. If you haven't yet read any of her work, I would recommend starting with this one, purely because I'd read 'The Map of Love' and 'In the Eye of the Sun' before I'd read this book, and it did leave me feeling a little cheated and disappointed, mainly because I'd loved the other two novels so much and hadn't felt so gripped with this one.
The protaganist in each story is a woman, but two of the short stories focus on the same protaganist, Asya. These two stories are told both in the first person, and, while I loved 'In the Eye of the Sun' and never wanted it to end, I was disappointed to find Asya, who is the main character in 'In the Eye of the Sun', narrating two episodes of her life in two short stories ...
Advantages: Wonderful day out Disadvantages: Steep prices, some accessibility issues
** A QUICK HISTORY LESSON **
The origins of Warwick Castle date as far back as the year 914, when the daughter of Alexander the Great ordered the building of an earthen rampart to protect the hilltop town of Warwick from the invading Danish.
It has been visited by the like of Queen Elizabeth I, King William III and Queen Victoria to name but a few.
** WHERE **
Warwick Castle is located in (funnily enough) Warwickshire, in the picturesque town of Warwick. My other half did actually check that this was so as he said he knew that sometimes places (like Leeds Castle) are not where you might assume they should be.
I would advise that you use a route planner to find them as I can never follow directions very well and my geography is rubbish, at least with websites like www.routemap.com or www.theaa.co.uk you get a map along ...

Advantages: its the 5th best uni at the moment Disadvantages: Its in Coventry.
Ive just graduated from Warwick in July 2003 after completing a degree in Sociology. There is a lot of competition for places at Warwick and it seems as though everyone you meet applied for Oxford or Cambridge and didnt get in.
I wasn't one of them people however but I was so pleased to be offered a place there. There are roughly 16,000 students there but it really doesn't seem like it. Warwick also has the reputation for one of the biggest campuses in Europe.
I started in October 2000 and this uni starts a bit later than most and every academic year finishes at the end of June. Holidays are great, for Christmas we normally get a month off and for Easter it is normally 5 weeks of holidays. There are three terms a year, which are broken up into ten weeks so it makes it really easy to manage stuff in this time as you can time ...
