Ahhhhh. Boatdog has the hang of canal life. Do let us know if ever oop north and we’ll bring Alf to meet you. He’ll be at the Great North Run dispensing professional warm up advice and cheering everyone - esp Alistair- on from the sidelines. He has taken to domestic life like a duck to water!

I was in Wentworth (when breeze-block was on trend!) in 1984-5 and loved it! Can’t remember if it was C block -now demolished- but it was the furthest from the JCR and closest to the Stray, where we sledged (on purloined shower curtains)! Happy times!

Not had chance to do the count yet as Alf and I have been celebrating my umpteenth trip around the sun by walking along Allen Banks! I will do it soon- lots 🦋 around this year.

Lovely. I’ve been following the peregrine chicks we saw as tiny white balls of fluff on the platform at Norwich Cathedral when we visited UEA to run a workshop for @fabioarico.bsky.social They seem to have flown while we were busy at #AHEconference2025!

Have a lovely birthday! We’ll raise a glass to you at AHE!

Excitement mounts as it’s less than 2 weeks until #aheconference2025. I’m most looking forward to meeting & making friends, learning tons about new practices and research….and I love the buzzy formats like poster and pitch sessions, mini keynotes- oh & expert masterclass workshops. Everything!
