Oww, I wish you had posted sooner!
I was in the area from sept- dec, and would have loved to meet up then! I <3 St. Albans, and am hoping that one day, eventually, I'll get to move back there! (DB is from Leicester/goes to uni in Nottingham...we met in Manchester)..but by far, St. Albans has been my favorite.
If I'm ever back in the area, i'll let you know
