New favourite place in the garden for a book and a pint is by the sugar snap pea jungle - free bar snacks, and I can spend time with the sprawling courgette monster too! ππ±

A cold and lonely morning on campus today - luckily I had our amazing trees to keep me company, like this giant redwood with a beautiful split trunk (not as tall as they get over in the States, mind!) π±
