I just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely tributes which have been left to Judith. She always said she just wanted to make the world a better place and it's comforting to know that her light touched so many lives. Steve
It is with deep sadness that I share the news that Judith died yesterday. She was with her family and passed away peacefully at home.
Judith wanted me to say she really valued the Twitter community, who shared her passion for geography and wider interests.

Idris Mathias was a postman in Cardigan. His work took him along the Teifi River. In 1945 he embarked on project that would take 17yrs, drawing a 58-foot-long map of the area. His map includes drawings of birds, fishermen –and their names, local landmarks and placenames.

I couldn't find a simple, single web page where I could plug in any English, Welsh or Scottish postcode and get the most recent deprivation data, so this is my attempt to create one (in a very short space of time)

Classics so well known to a #geographyteacher of a certain vintage!

My column in @TheNewDailyAu describes how our cities resembled a fried egg before the pandemic where jobs clustered in the center. Now our cities decentralized and resemble a scrambled egg. Read the full column here (free to read; no pay wall): thenewdaily.com.au/news/nati…

Also a reminder that if you are doing fieldwork on beaches, make your students aware of the possibility of nests/eggs.
I learned this from experience 2 years ago...
🔴 Human disturbance may have unexpected consequences on breeding birds. In windy conditions 💨🍃, as happens daily in many beaches, unattended eggs can be buried under the sand in a few minutes.
So walking dogs off a leash🐕 can be lethal💀 to these nests ow.ly/NGQ150BpSvF

It turns out that this was quite a tradition with great grandad...

So the box of vintage family slides got sorted today... so many gems!
Great grandad born 1885, so he was 80 here. What a lovely man!

Same idea with this chart, but this time ordered by median age of each constituency - youngest areas are on the left hand side
same chart type as above, but this time *median age* by constituency, ranked from youngest (Cardiff Central - median age 26.5) to oldest (Norfolk North, 54.9) - youngest areas on the left, oldest on the right, coloured by party as before
