Beautiful autumn sunshine on Keele campus this morning. Head down, and 10,000+ words written on globalization, political economy and transnationalism. Amongst washing clothes, dishes, sorting school uniform and trying to work out how to mmaterialize seven days' meals out of £20 a week. I hope my girls look back and say 'our Mum was the most eccentric and loving woman we ever knew'. They're certianly the most inspiring beings I have ever encountered.
