This week, I had the honor of signing the historical #Obligation_book of the @royentsoc.bsky.social as a newly appointed Fellow of the RES

It is quite intimidating to sign a book that has been signed by the likes of Darwin, Wallace and Queen Elisabeth II !

Great venue too ! #Glasgow_City_Chambers
