I made good time and the rain had just about stopped by the time I arrived. With a few minutes to spare I took the opportunity to look around the campus, which includes a landscaped lake. <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/duckling_3004085633.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/duckling_3004085646.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/duckling_3004085637.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>The rain was back by the time I left, so it wasn&#39;t until this evening that I took the camera out again (seriously delayed by Chelsea&#39;s fabulous triumph over Liverpool in the Champions League :hat:).
