(1 of 2) Just over a week ago (Friday 28th) we had a lovely memorial service for Kevin in Lincoln, in the church where his parents are buried. Kevin’s uncle spoke of early memories of Kevin growing up, and I’m very proud of Joe for speaking about his Dad.

Celebrating retirement after 46yrs. Kevin surprised me with a wonderful meal and overnight stay @ The Inn at Whitewell. Very special treat. Can’t believe after living in Lancashire for so long we have never been. Wonderful meal and gorgeous huge room. 🍸🍸🍸

That’s it then,46yrs of work. Cadet Nurse, Std Nurse, Staff Nurse, Ward Sister & Senior Lecturer for 34yrs. Nursing’s been a fab career, opportunities along the way. Culminating in success with Doc. Now for the next phase…retirement. Out of office (permanent) on & chill 🥰😜🥂🤣
Back in the Beehive after fantastic 2 days #writingretreat with @DrCLJBarrow @UCLan knocking down brick walls to get back to my #profdoc amendments. Massive progress made (I believe and hope @PhilippaOlive) #research #creativity #PhD #pedagogy

Well that’s it, all done. I have submitted my thesis today after a 7 year roller coaster ride. I can’t help but feel very proud of myself and I’m now wondering what I’m going to do with my time. #profdoc #research #creativepedagogy 🍾🥂🎉🥳

Fabulous conversation by the panel in the discussion of neurodiversity at #CCLConnect @UCLan with @SarahJ_MW @gemmalspencer and @smileyfacehalo
Loved #CCLConnect conference today @UCLan delivering this workshop alongside @MrsSplendid and @SteTaylorEdu great to see activity in the session. I got custody of (yet to be named) little friend who is now keeping me company in The Beehive. 😎🥰😎

Had fab time sharing this yesterday in #creativeHE meet with @egillaspy and others. Great discussion of how we could use it in the classroom, sharing thoughts within the tree. I suggested using it as a #johariwindow for exploring of self in #creativeteaching #creativepedagogy
I am wanting to start an academic blog, seeking platform recommendations for ease of use and distribution. #pedagogy #AcademicTwitter #teachingandlearning #highered #blogging
