One of the best things about Lancaster (in my opinion) is its proximity to the Lakes. Today we took our @lancslinguistics.bsky.social Masters students on an adventure hiking from Ambleside to Grasmere via Rydal Cave. After a shaky start weather-wise we were blessed with sunshine and great views.

Fantastic days in the #NUMB3S workshop. Held in #CabodePalos, we learned about motion, metaphor, number and quantity surrounded by great company and... food. Take a look... @marthaalibali.bsky.social @bodowinter.bsky.social #RafaelNuñez #JavierValenzuela @chrishartlinguist.bsky.social
