Heritage tomato This monthly update comes late as I have been rather busy during the first half of this month. However, on my personal blog you can have a look at some cookie-experiments which I have been undertaking. I have also included a picture a heritage tomato, which is the most exciting thing currently growing in my garden. I have also had the great pleasure of seeing Nigel Kennedy playing at the Proms at the…

I’m afraid that you can now follow me on Twitter @MarenDeepwell, although my tweeting is limited to work-related matters. There’s summery news on my blog, mostly vegetable related… I’ve also had the pleasure of moderating a very interesting webinar on digital learning environments and spending a lot of time preparing for ALT-C 2011.

Updated website

Welcome to an updated version of my website at http://www.marendeepwell.net . Over the next week I will add more content and fix the URL re-direct, but if you experience any problems, please contact me and let me know. Many thanks, Maren

A new version of the ALT online newsletter to the implementation of which I contributed has launched at http://newsletter.alt.ac.uk . On my own blog you can read about my garden, a recent trip to Flatland and see apostcard from Sheffield. Cemeteryscapes is taking a summer break this year but the archive or posts is of course available throughout the summer as well. In the meantime, I will be concentrating on my work at ALT and in learning technology more generally and I look forward…

News this month: The new ALT website to which I have contributed has recently launched at http://www.alt.ac.uk and also has some information about me as a member of staff. There is also much news on my blog, including an update on my first cucumber plant and various afternoons spend in the garden moving small plants from one pot to another – all of which are signs that the first harvesting of this year’s crop is coming ever closer. I have also taken the plunge and…

April 2011

Already a quarter of the year is over and the tax year is coming to an end as well, which means it’s time of year end procedures and looking forward. Planning dinner 4-6 months ahead may seem a little excessive, but when you are growing all the non-animal part of your meal, it’s never to soon to start.Cemeteryscapes is currently running a series of posts on objects and cemeteryscapes, starting with boneyards in the US. If…

March 2011

It’s mid-March and I’m afraid this month there’s little news as I have been too engaged with things outside the online realm to be able to do much otherwise. BUT – there is updates to come to all areas of this site within the next month. Enjoy Spring!

February 2011

This month sees the first birthday of my personal blog. To mark the occassion I have written a review of the first year of posting, which you can read here. The review also contains a countdown of the 5 most read and shared posts over the past year: At number five its “Chutney & air travel” (the chutney was a first attempt, but utterly delicious, in case you are interested). At number four – “On happiness on…

December 2010

Winter has come and the landscape has been truly spectacular. Stuck in the middle of a rather hectic pre-Christmas rush to get all the work done, there’s a few things to announce:First, we’ve issued a call for winter images of cemeteries on cemeteryscapes, so get your camera out and send us your snapshots.Also, I must admit that England’s progress in the battle for the Ashes has been rather distracting, if delightful. As always, this means long nights…
