Penultimate day in Scotland. A long walk along an old railway then the river Tyne (not that one). Fields of poppies all around. Back to reality tomorrow #VisitScotland #EastLothian 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love it…and the buses. Just aware of the massive amount of moaning there was about it. Or maybe that was just my family! Princes Street is dire though.

How many pictures of a lighthouse is too many pictures of a lighthouse? Trip on the (in)famous Edinburgh tram to Newhaven Harbour on a gorgeous summer day #Edinburgh #VisitScotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Large field stretching into the distance full of blueish green Brussels sprouts plants, all under a dramatic blue cloudy sky

A sea of sprouts. How many Christmas dinners in one field? #EastLothian #VisitScotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yellow wheat field in the foreground framed by trees and blue skies beyond

Round spiky plant with purple petals in the foreground with pink flowers behind

Blue flowers in the foreground with a yellow wheat field behind and a town in the distance

It really has been a crazy few months at work and it’s not clear that it’s over yet. Spending some time in the Scottish countryside to unwind #VisitScotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #EastLothian

Glorious summer evening dog walk #EastLondon #TowerHamletsCemeteryPark

And now an interview? Really? Someone just give her a hug. Please. #wimbledon

Oh dear. That was a bit disappointing #Wimbledon

The height of summer…watching Le Tour and Wimbledon at the same time. Last time I’ll be able to do it without paying #SummerOfSport #TourDeFrance #Wimbledon

There's a growing community of people at work who's emails, about really mundane stuff, now resemble the worst AI generated LinkedIn posts...bizarre "inspirational" headings and twee icons everywhere...as if work email wasn't bad enough already #TooOldForThis

Fidra and clouds over the Fife coast #EastLothian #VisitScotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Cutest. Dog. Ever. #CockerSpaniel #UnbiasedOpinion 🐶

Sign on scenic golf course next to the sea which says “walkers please read this notice. You are now entering a part of the golf course where you may walk into the path of a golf ball. The land reform (Scotland) act 2003 requires that you stand aside and give golfers priority.”

East Lothian…the place where golf balls have more rights than humans #VisitScotland #Golf 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Singing along to Sunshine in Leith while cooking haggis slices for breakfast…can it get any better? #VisitScotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In the beautiful Jackson’s Lane Centre for a memorial concert for George Coulouris. Yes…he played the cello too. www.jacksonslane.org.uk/events/memor...

Cover of the exhibition book for the eighties, photographing Britain exhibition at the Tate Britain

As a teenager in the 80s this exhibition had a special resonance for me. Incredibly moving in places…miner’s strike, murder of Altab Ali, the effects of unemployment and Thatcherism, …some pure joy…the Handsworth self portraits. Too much to take in on one visit! #TheEighties #TateBritain

Two yellow daffodils with orange trumpets

The daffodils are out in force in the gorgeous evening light in the Tower Hamlets cemetery park #eastLondon #TowerHamlets #Spring

Looking forward to our Festival of Education today with a focus on Graduate Attributes and employability. Moodle may be mentioned.

Boardwalk at Canada Water designed by Asif Khan. Tried to get there before the weather closed in…and failed! #bridge #architecture

It’s been Italian renaissance day for me today with exhibitions at the King’s Gallery and the Royal Academy #leonardo #raphael #michaelango and others

George Coulouris obituary Other lives: Computer scientist instrumental in the installation of the first Unix system in the UK

I was lucky to be on George’s courses at QMUL and to talk bikes with him for years afterwards. I was also a vi user…but never a hacker! #QMUL www.theguardian.com/education/20...

View along the Thames at night with lights reflected on the water

View along the Millenium bridge at night toward St Paul’s cathedral all lit up

Late walk along the Thames after the theatre #London

A stage with deep red curtains and a vintage leather bag hanging in the centre

Yes. A handbag! Fantastic night out at the National Theatre to see Ncuti Gatwa in the Importance of being Earnest. Brilliant. #NationalTheatre

Nothing makes you feel more welcome than arriving back after the festive break and finding your work pass has been disabled #HappyNewYear
