As eldest’s #photography deadline is now looming, this month’s trip to #Durham is an extra long one to hopefully enable him to get the majority of his final photoshoots completed. This was not the weather we ordered! 😅

Decided to get some rosettes back out & mice have eaten a box in an outbuilding, destroyed a lot of them & those remaining are crumpled to varying degrees 😭
Is there a way to flatten the ribbons without damage? Tried heavy books but it hasn’t worked on most & I’m nervous about ironing them! Help!

Tonight we lit the final candle for the last night of Chanukkah.

This time last year I wasn’t in a great place. I spent 2024 working hard on myself, being brave, & pushing myself out of my comfort zones. I learnt a lot about myself along the way.
A recent pivotal moment means I’m starting 2025 happy, & with hope that continuing the work will be easier this year.

It’s very rare we properly see our feral farm cat Ginge to get a photo of him. Look at his adorable grumpy little face! 😻

It’s #Christmas today, #Chanukkah starts tonight and, if you’re in the UK, it’s also Gavin and Stacey day!!
I hope everyone has a lovely time whatever you do or don’t celebrate, and that it is as gentle on you as possible if it’s the first holiday without a loved one.

This morning I was searching online for other flavours of drinks now I can no longer have caffeine. Having been up since 5.30am I was very tired and misread the name of this tea as a minty public health nightmare! 🤣

Today was spent driving around County #Durham so my eldest could take some photos for his #photography project about the #mining industry in NE England. I can’t upload any of his images but my snap below is the lift cage from the mine at #Easington Colliery which shut in 1993.

The rain hasn’t stopped so checking the cows this morning was a bit soggy due to the gley soils in our bottom fields! Thankfully the field they are in is on a slope so they’re sensibly staying out of the water.

Day 1 of the medical geology and environmental health conference was great today! Brilliant presentations from everyone! I really enjoyed sharing my #Sinabung ash work 😃

After a wonderful weekend catching up with old uni friends in Leicester it’s time to unwind in Durham ready for a medical geology and environmental health virtual conference starting on Tuesday!

I’m back in Leicester again! This time for a reunion with some of my Geology undergrad cohort.
I found out on Wednesday that I am presenting at a conference next week so this evening will be spent writing a presentation uncomfortably close to a deadline. Really adds to the reminiscing 🤣🤣

This hasn’t stopped all day and we’re now snowed in! I used to get extremely excited about snow when I first moved up here but the novelty wore off very quickly!

It was a cold, wet and very windy day in north Aberdeenshire today 🥶
We found a fishing memorial sculpture which depicts a woman and her daughter looking out across the North Sea for a family member who will never return.

Whilst mucking out the horses tonight the Arab dribbled freezing cold water down the back of my neck and the Fell dribbled her chaff soup over me and then kept emptying the scoop! I’ll be glad to chuck them back out into the field tomorrow! 😂 My son’s little Welshie was a good boy as always!

Definitely visit the Natural History Museum if you’re going to London. If you’re ever heading further north than Edinburgh then Aberdeenshire and the Moray Coast have some nice places to visit.

Whizz Kidz max day. OH & I met through #climbing so we were delighted to see the kids get a chance to climb! 💜 I even got a climb in myself for the first time since before I had the kids & was surprisingly chilled until I made the fatal mistake of looking down & then everything went a bit wobbly 🤣
