My trip back from Kiel was less than ideal as my flight got cancelled, meaning I had to stay an extra 24 hours. Still, I got to see a few cool sights in an admittedly freezing and foggy Hamburg!

On my way back from Kiel, Germany back to the UK after having an excellent workshop. Presented a paper that seemed to go down but definitely needs work. Great start to 2025!

Absolute privilege to see my MA students graduate today. They've worked so hard and fully deserve it. Can't wait to hear what they get up to next.

Also got a cheeky picture with the Lord Mayor. Very jealous of his robes!

This has given me a much needed lift today. Students can be so sweet sometimes! This person did very well during their MA and is graduating in a few weeks. Very proud of them!
