Sunday Lunch

Part of the job I left last month was to manage a group of about 30 Associate Lecturers, ie the people who supported, taught and assessed the students. Luckily the people I worked with were the most motivated, self aware and conscientious colleagues so there was hardly ever, in over 12 years, any need for 'management' in the managerial sense of the word. Thank goodness - that would not have been my cup of tea.

Today a group of these lovely people came round for lunch, which Cameraman kindly provided. In a very disobedient fashion they ignored my request for no gifts and brought cards, bottles of fizz, chocolates and other presents. One colleague brought me these wonderful books of poetry which I will love and treasure.
