Absolute pleasure to deliver a @CUGeogPlan workshop on travel choices and car dependency today @RTPIPlanners Cymru Wales Planning Conference #walesplan23
💬 SPALLETTI: "Neapolitans know that Naples is beautiful but people who come here as guests, like myself, are even more aware of it. When you've grown up with it you can't be awestruck the same way as those who suddenly happen across it one day"
💙 #ForzaNapoliSempre
Very grateful to be one of the recipients! Thanks to @RTPIPlanners A great way to end 2022! Looking forward to getting started on the project in 2023 and exploring family & leisure mobility decisions and car dependency.
Beautiful morning in Cardiff. In one direction Capital Tower peeking out behind City Hall and in the other the National War Memorial. Blue skies on the walk into @CUGeogPlan#C8S2022
Getting to know my newly arrived @BromptonBicycle with a lap of Cardiff Bay. Sixty minutes of absolute fun on my new favourite bike. #unfoldinghappiness
Taken the leap from pretty much car-free to completely car-less! Cardiff has one fewer car on its streets and I’m freed from trying to find uses for something that turned out to be less convenient for my family than expected four years ago. #carfree
Should be enjoying #CardiffGrad with my MSc @CUSocSci Research Methods class of 2022 today but sadly Covid finally got me. Congratulations to my fellow graduates, the School and staff. A well earned celebration! Cheers!
While getting my booster this morning I spotted (and enjoyed) this little site of collective memory. COVID continues to impact our urban spaces in both large and small ways.
MSc dissertation submitted with a few days in hand. Thanks to @UrbanWebb for expert supervision, and to the those who gave feedback to my modelling of subjective wellbeing and the built environment. Celebrating with wine, roast, and a homemade Biscoff cheesecake.
If there are any planners or planning consultants in Wales desperately hoping to end the working day by completing my questionnaire about the built environment and subjective wellbeing, it is unfortunately impacted by a global internet outage. https://t.co/CcFuecSxnP
Delighted to receive an unconditional offer to join the @CUGeogPlan PhD programme in October. Big thanks to @UrbanWebb for all his support, @Drruthypotts for acting as second supervisor, and all the incredible academics I’ve met on the MSc SSRM @CUSocSci
If the slug who took out a leaf and a half from my little nasturtiums had waited for them to grow, there would be flowers for bees and butterflies, and a place for caterpillars to cocoon. It’s the tragedy of the commons! Now regulated with copper tape. #gardening#economics
