My final commute yesterday after 15 yrs @uniofleicester I've taken voluntary redundancy to write more books & changemake.

Meanwhile Higher Ed. is in crisis, my colleagues' jobs are at risk. Has the nation noticed this silent decimation of our most prestigious uk sector?

@corinne_fowler @uniofleicester all fortitude to your ex-colleagues…but enjoy this new chapter and looking forward to reading your new books ahead!

#Peregrine pair feeding on a Barnacle Goose, which the female took down, just below the house here at @Natures_Voice The Oa.
