Immersion in a natural environment restores a little balance. No glory hunting human can match the breathtaking beauty of a mature beech tree

Maybe the government needs to look at what's happening in Higher Education. Management needs to be accountable. Staff are students are suffering. BBC News - Schools in England get extra £500m in bid to avoid teachers' pay strike bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6ly…
Schools in England get extra £500m in bid to avoid teacher pay strike

Schools in England get extra £500m in bid to avoid teacher pay strike

The offer of extra money by the government reduces the prospect of strike action by the largest teaching union.

We CAN do something. Check your labels. Boycott palm oil, force industry to stop committing ecocide.

A tiny Risso's Dolphin calf surfacing off the south Mainland of Shetland on Monday evening. One of several calves swimming alongside their mothers in a 'nursery' pod comprising around 20 individuals. Photographed on a UHI Shetland / Blue Connect marine mammal survey operating under an EPS licence onboard The Mousa Boat with a magnificent bunch of fellow volunteers.

Maybe at the moment we should all (me included) take a break from any discussion of Cambridge's policies, and reflect on the tragic human costs -- and remember with compassion the person who paid a dreadful price.
