Been a bit quite recently. It is thesis trauma in my life. Bringing years of EdD learning together has been all consuming. Some highs and lows. This week has provided some real eureka moments. On a wet, wet day OH provided a G &T to help the reading to support Chpt 2 Strathclyde Institute of Education .

Happy family events are so important. Celebrating a wedding of our nephew. Being a family means you are part of something wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life. # precious moments #myworld

I know I need to keep working at thesis but really struggling today. Sun shining and brain telling me to go outside. Working up a wee plan to print a section to read outdoors. #outdoorEdD Strathclyde Institute of Education Kate Wall

What a messy job referencing and citing papers can be. 6 hours in 90 minute sessions today. Finished the day in the garden appreciating the roses.

Since January I have spent many hours on my EdD thesis. It has been the daily norm of between 3 to 8 hours of writing. Yesterday a milestone reached . Full draft sent to supervisors. Today packed and ready for two weeks away.

Office move. From Jan to June I set up the EdD office in my daughter’s room. She is coming home for the summer so relocate office to guest room. Lucky guests having access to such wonderful reading. I hope the new view helps the final EdD stages.

Really looking forward to meeting and reuniting with valued friends and rural colleagues. Hopefully some new contacts will be made too. Working together on rural opportunities is so important.

Why is rural education viewed through a deficit lens? Where did ‘urban saviour syndrome’ come from and is it acceptable? Come debate these questions internationally ISATT 2025 in Glasgow
