Today I went aboard a 16th century Spanish Galeon, El Galeón Andalucia. It was just as fun as you'd expect it to be.

So this week in the world of farm/environment/land management/ mapping has been “interesting”
And by “interesting” I mean “verging on the utterly bonkers”
Why? Well this week started with Natural England launching a new map

For Earth Day this year, we present ten satellite images taken by the Earth imaging company Planet Labs, which owns and operates a network of hundreds of small satellites orbiting our planet.
These images were captured during Planet Labs’ routine scan of the globe:

Happy #TolkienReadingDay to all who celebrate! Please enjoy this map of Middle Earth, annotated by the man himself and including several locations not mentioned in the books:
![Pictured is an annotated version of a fold-out map which was included in early editions of the Lord of The Rings. The map shows readers Tolkien’s fantasy world ‘Middle-earth’.
The annotations are by Tolkien himself, and were for the benefit of Pauline Baynes, an artist who was creating an illustrated poster map of Middle-earth.
Baynes ripped the map out of her own 1954 copy of Lord of the Rings and took it to Tolkien, who covered it with notes, including many extra place names that do not appear in the book. Since most were in his own invented Elvish language he helpfully translated some: ‘Eryn Vorn [= Black Forest] a forest region of dark [pine?] trees.’
The annotations give an insight into how vividly Tolkien pictured Middle-earth in his mind, and how thorough his research was. They include a series of geographical pointers about the latitude of key locations: ‘Hobbiton is assumed to be approx. at latitude of Oxford,’. ‘Minas Tirith is about latitude of Ravenna (but is 900 miles east of Hobbiton more near Belgrade). Bottom of the map (1,400 miles) is about latitude of Jerusalem.’
