Today we had a little trip to RSPB Bempton Cliffs and Bridlington. At the cliffs we saw kittiwakes, razorbills, gannets, guillemots, herring gulls and three puffins. RSPB Bempton Cliffs
Yesterday, we had a quick day trip to Wales to visit my dad in his new home. While we were there we returned to Bodnant Garden, a place we visited in August 2010 (those photos can be seen on my much-neglected photo site here). Plus, there’s a bonus photo of Conwy Castle viewed from the […]

Since my last post, the White Rose Maths Hub was renamed West Yorkshire Maths Hub. There are many reasons behind the change but it doesn’t affect my position, thankfully! This week sees the first residential of the Maths Mastery course in Leeds on Thursday and Friday. I had a list of readings to go through […]
