End of an era. Last teaching day at LJMU. Grateful for some excellent and collegiate colleagues and for working with UG and PG students who will doubtless go on to great things in whatever direction they choose. 1/3

As a second-generation Scouser it’s been great to get to know the bossest city in England more - and nice to see iconic views at work. A short break now before new adventures - more to follow on here from me… 2/3
