One of my former students has contacted me to tell me that he wants to do a Geography degree ❤️ He has asked for advice on his contenders. I can only really cover Exeter. Does anyone have any info on Manchester, UCL, or Reading for Geog? Thanks 🙏

Visited the Snowhotel in Kirkenes yesterday. It will be finding its way into the geog curriculum - either an amazing place for year 7, or extreme tourism for year 8! (Can I claim the cost on the geog budget?!)

Started the paperwork for the year 11 fieldwork trips today. Even though I’ve been teaching all 4 groups since November, the thought of having to lead 4 days of trips is a bit 😱 Always split the days in the past.

Went to the pool to loosen up my back, and then spent an hour driving the final 5 minute stretch of my journey home - along pretty flooded dirt track roads - due to flooding 🤣 Back hurts again and now I’m also stressed 🤣🤣🤣
