Very sad to hear of the death of Anthea Tinker. She was a giant in the Gerontology world, and a great support to me during my PhD at King's College London, even though I was not her student. I will remember her fondly. shorturl.at/avHTT

Spent a couple of happy hours at Castlerigg stone circle this afternoon. The views in every direction are stunning, because the stones are cradled by a ring of fells.
