Today the weather forecast said dry all day so I decided to clear out the shed and tidy everything (Swedish Death Cleaning). Only now it’s raining and I’m damp and covered in cobwebs and what was I thinking?

I learned about Jane Goodall in a Zoology course at university in 1982. She was already an icon. Many people may not realise that when she first went to work with chimpanzees she didn’t have formal scientific training; she went as a secretary. She was criticised… (1/3)
