In the Lab again!

Here we are in the lab again at Field Notes - Luis is giving us a talk about immunology and at the end we dissappear for lunch!

Aurora Borealis at Kilpisjarvi

I'm up in the very north west of Finland this week on a bioart workshop. For the last two nights we have been really lucky to see spectacular Northern Lights! The red dot in the foreground above is one of the other photographers, which adds a wonderful sense of scale.
We have been acquiring the Finnish traditions by eating great local food and taking trips between the sauna and the lake for a swim!

Autumn crocus in Highbury park

Every year I potter down to Highbury to gaze at the beautiful autumn crocus (crocuses/ croci!) and they didn't disappoint this year either!

More nodes

So I might be getting married today but I also got the joy of opening up the kiln! Above are the little beach huts I made for Liz - I think they're super cute! And then below we have some things I am trying out for the Christmas fair I am doing with Helen in November and the latest additions to the Earth Network.

Anitcurate 6

Last night we popped in to the final Anticurate exhibition where all the submitted artworks were on display - it was like going to the Summer Exhibition with the walls and cases packed! And here's the pebbles again and Dougal having a look!
