One of the things I'm most proud of! I founded the Pathway in 2010, designed & inspired by my lived experiences as a mature student, it has progressed over 80 non-traditional students onto degrees @cuhistarchrel.bsky.social - largely thanks to inspiring co-ordinator @webstermedieval.bsky.social ✊️
15 Years!
This year we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Exploring the Past Pathway. The Pathway was the 1st at Cardiff University & paved the way for more. A big thank you to Dr Dave Wyatt & Dr Paul Webster for being Champions for many years. @webstermedieval.bsky.social @sharewyatt.bsky.social

Today I think is the end of the uni's financial year means it's been the final day for a whole host of colleagues who've taken "voluntary" redundancy. Very unsettling experience.

"The One that Haunts Me" is just 3 views away from 200.
The song is dream-pop with big drums, layers of guitar & uke, and ghost vocals.
The video has wild horses on the Gower, graffiti in Grangetown, and hand-drawn pieces by my daughter.
Fun, funky, not to be missed!
