“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice.” T.S. Eliot.

May the turning of the year offer time for reflection, and the opportunity for better things for all in 2026.

“I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

‘We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September’,
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December”

Sad news to hear that Dorothy Vogel has passed away - such an inspirational woman who, together with her husband Herb amassed an incredible art collection (for the right reasons).

“Herb and Dorothy” is well worth watching (also the follow-up, “Herb and Dorothy 50x50”)

End of an era. Last teaching day at LJMU.

Grateful for some excellent and collegiate colleagues and for working with UG and PG students who will doubtless go on to great things in whatever direction they choose. 1/3

Train reading. Some disclosures have the ability to startle (but sadly not surprise).

Needless to say huge benefits came from this academic shortsightedness regarding a very prominent woman in law.
