The clock&#8217;s have changed here in the UK, it&#8217;s the last day of the first quarter of the year&#8230; spring is underway (if still a lot wetter than I&#8217;d like) and I am freshly returned from an inspiring week in Cork at the OER24 Conference. It&#8217;s also been six months now since I started working in my new ventures, over a year since my departure from ALT was announced&#8230; and I feel like I have landed in a new place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From now on, I will still share updates on how I am doing, but maybe not as frequently. Things will continue to evolve no doubt, and that is both exciting and expected as I build this chapter of my life. I have a sense of having begun, to have arrived, here, in the new place. Tomorrow is Monday, and my plan for the day is to spend a lot of time thinking, planning and plotting, fitting in a run and a dog walk, as well as some much needed tidying of my domains, both domestic and digital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So to wrap up this season&#8217;s podcasting and to celebrate this milestone, I have recorded a special episode, sharing some of the highlights of the past six months and also some things I am especially looking forward to.
