Few more snaps from Ben venue walk

Took a days leave today to walk Ben venue with friends. First decent walk I’ve done in ages. Loved it

Forgotten about over winter. Seems I grew leeks?!?

Saturday morning call to mum. Tales from Small town Nz where everyone knows everyone fills my ♥️ with joy 🤩 17 years in uk & I’m still homesick at times 😂

Goodbye spring

Dad torturing me with the most beautiful photos of autumnal vines in the wine area near my Home town!

Always took my breath away while working in York

Our first university with the job cuts today is Derby - one of our key industrial universities. It faces losing half of its senior academics. Stop this now, you stupid fools. 🇬🇧 www.bbc.com/news/article...

'The compulsory redundancies come after the launch of a voluntary redundancy scheme which has already seen several senior staff decide to leave. This signals a worrying change in strategic direction at the University - away from being a top ranked teaching institution under-pinned by research.'

University of Derby faces mass job cuts as management plans to make half of senior academics redundant. Please spread the word. www.ucu.org.uk/article/1398...

Here at MuseumBums HQ we're campaigning ardently for a 3 day weekend, starting right now 🥱💤👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Riposo di Cavatori sul Monte Ceceri, by Baccio Maria Bacci, at Palazzo Pitti in Florence 🇮🇹

Spring tidy up begins. When we bought the house this had nothing apart from a whole lot of sand where the raise bed is (legacy sand pit!). It’s still under whelming but perfectly good for sitting out with a g&t in the summer evenings!

Trying to keep comms with home is difficult sometimes with a 13, 12 or 11 hour time difference depending on time of the year. We’re currently moving into 11 hours which is the most awkward, ie 9pm uk is 8am NZ ⏰ 🕰️

Not sure who was more stressed going to vets this morning for his annual check Up. Me or the cat. Out howling in the car down the motorway was interchangeable 😂 turns out, like his owners, he needs more exercise 😂 #blackcatfriday
