Today, March 20th, is the first day of Spring! (or in fancy terms, the Vernal Equinox). It's supposed to get sunnier over the next few months (and yesterday & today can attest to that!)
Here're some photos we've taken over the past few months that just so happen to feature some sunny weather. ☀️

The hammer now looks amazing, having been restored to its former glory. Well done to our trainees & supervisors who worked on this project for #PG25 #portglasgow2025
