Every time I go to Bishop Auckland Newgate Street it looks more and more like a scene from a Hieronymus Bosch painting! 😶 #GrimUpNorth
Finally some thunder. #GrimUpNorth
Grey Street is looking fabulous. #Newcastle #GrimUpNorth
What's all this banging on about how warm it is in Glastonbury? It's bloody freezing in Salford. #GrimUpNorth

"We love fog because it shifts old anomalies into the elements surrounding them.”

"The rain continued. It was a hard rain, a perpetual rain, a (shivering) and (streaming) rain; it was a mizzle, a downpour, a fountain, a whipping at the eyes, an undertow at the ankles; it was a rain to drown all rains and the memory of rains.”

The following elegiac inscription can be found on a gravestone in the graveyard of St Michael and All Angel's, Haworth, West Yorkshire, UK

Time was I stood as though dost now,
And viewed the dead as though dost me;
Ere long thou'lt stand as low as I,
And others stand and look o'er thee.

Fairly typical of a Yorkshire outlook on life. And death 😀 We have a fair few like it

#introduction I work in #AppliedMicro, specially on #crime, #urban, #labour/#labor, #health and #education, usually with some #CausalInference angle. I’m a professor at Newcastle University (it’s #GrimUpNorth as you can see below…) where I’m also currently deputy head of the economics group. Before coming to the U.K. I lived close to Hamburg (in Lüneburg) for a decade where I did my degrees (and had a #fcsp season ticket).
