Sad to see this wildflower meadow in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park being swamped by scrub - this valley is under grazed whilst the mountain tops are over grazed. We need more cattle and far fewer sheep.
A huge thank you to all the @sltmarjon lecturers for your support during the degree. It was such an inspiring 3 years.

I’m loving the new book on British mammals from @MathewsFiona and her husband Tim. Wonderful to have nature writing that’s both fascinating and very funny and which doesn’t take itself too seriously. #naturewriting #ukmammals

Thanks a lot @MathewsFiona and @TimKendall70 for this fun introduction to Black Ops and Beaver Bombing, our May #bookofthemonth !!!

Christianne wins a cash prize too - Congratulations, @CATS_Chris!

Absolutely delighted (& surprised!) to have won the @rcslt @ijlcd Student Prize for my dissertation project. Thank you so much to @ParrottDr for nominating me and to all @sltmarjon for all your support during the degree. I finally found what I was meant to do with this life!
Am absolutely loving my job working for @Support_Educate (who are more active on FB than Twitter 😁). My dissertation included a website but was really about ways in which SLTs can improve the quality of support for communication in LD services. It considered ways we can….
