It was lovely to present my work amongst such a supportive group of researchers, and to also hear about the exciting work going on across the spectrum of language variation and change. Thanks again to the organisers for a fantastic time!

Thank you so much, Lauren! It was actually your recent work on the CAT vowel amongst other research that spurred me on to have a look at it from this angle 🙌

Also, thank you for a fantastic talk this morning!!

She's always close by keeping an eye on it all!

More importantly, it was great to be present amongst many other researchers and activists - and the discussion on the future of Ulster and Scotland languages.

It was so great that I'll nearly forgive you, Belfast, for the excessive turbulence on a teeny propeller plane ✈️
