Great to return to Cambridge last Saturday for dinner at Emmanuel with Simon Jones and a dozen Old Manc students. Quite nostalgic, really - parked next to the pool by Parker's Piece and walked past the Parkside flat where I lived in my 4th year - the one when I was supposed to be learning how to teach. Most of my memories of that year are of playing college football, though I did very much enjoy a term's teaching at the Friends' School in Saffron Walden.
Fascinating to see how wonderfully far beyond school this group of students is, whether a couple of years into a first degree or starting post-grad studies.
Thanks to Emma for the food and wine, and to Mark for the organisation.
