Carol singing at #HarperAdams today. A great end to a busy and enjoyable day.

Why no mention of casters?

Open Day at #HarperAdams today so I am at the #Zoology course stand. Come and say hello. After that I am presenting on the #FutureFarmer programme put on by #SchoolforSustainableFoodandFarming

Snow outside. Wasps and ladybirds inside. Something magical wherever I look. That kind of day.

Yesterday I taught a class on Communication. Used the following words to demonstrate use of Podcast software. The students instantly got it - generations joined together by a meme!

"We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I"

Biston betularia everywhere are celebrating

Ten things that fascinate me:
1. #Botany
2. #Zoology
3. #InvasiveSpecies
4. #SustainableFarming
5. #Islands
6. #Music
7. #Entomology
8. #Poetry
9. #Folklore
10. #Archaeology

Autumn colours here at #HarperAdams this morning. It is week 2 of the term and the new #Zoology and #Entomology students are settling in well.
