GLITZ AT THE RITZ!
There was a Research Team from Kingston
Awarded for super Inclusion
So we went to Ritz
For a nice bit of glitz
And tea, cake and scones with fresh cream on! ❤️

It’s been exhilarating to move so swiftly from having a great idea to sitting in a recording studio Kingston University, and a joy to eavesdrop Richard Richard Keagan-Bull conversations with his guests over a cuppa. Soon you can hear it too. Read my blog and watch this space!

Endings are never easy but we celebrated our colleagues in style, stopping to think about their unique gifts and contributions - very moving. We haven’t seen the last of them: still some celebrations planned, and we hope to call on David’s advice in the future
