I’ve been offline the last few days, moving house from County Durham to Earlsdon, Coventry. My colleagues at Durham treated me to two very nice evenings to say goodbye – the department and the Institute of Advanced Study both took me out for meals. Many thanks to all, and especially for the generous gifts.

I start work at the University of Warwick on 1st September. My new email address is stuart.elden [at] warwick.ac.uk – this works now and the Durham one will soon be closed.
