One for legal geographers: I flew over the A69 Castres - Toulouse motorway, 45% finished, at w/e.

A difficult day for King's College as we remember student Aalia Mahomed who was tragically killed this time last week when a van driver entered the pedestrian precinct outside the College. Another two students were injured. A shocking event that has impacted a lot of students here.
