This is a lovely read: theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2… I remember busking in York once Christmas in King's Square, looking up and seeing Ian Smith standing at the back watching us. As a group we knew he was there listening in, and it made that cold afternoon feel more special.

Every now and then, you get a reminder about why we love sport and fell in love with sport. Rory McIlroy winning The Masters is one of the great moments ⛳️

A quick video of my third-year group project students this year. They've built a climbing robot, based on a suction cup design, and it's a great design! linkedin.com/posts/andrew-n…
