If you had 6days and nights in #Athens with family (including 3 very active children age 5-10)
followed by 3 days and nights in Athens alone with your partner to relax what would you do?
Where would you go?
Where would you eat?
This is for October 2025

I dropped by to see the patch of Lathraea clandestina Purple Toothwort introduced 17 years ago to Crack Willows in a pit near Norwich. It’s doing well there but I didn’t expect to find it growing directly from the bark a meter above ground! The weirdest epiphyte? #wildflowerhour

For the colour purple we have gone for some tin designs.
Until the 1990s Barnsley was home to the Barnsley Canister Company who made beautiful tins which were distributed all over the world.

Polar bear Nora loves to dive, so care staff came up with a way to safely place a camera at the bottom of her pool to watch her underwater. Beary cool!

Introducing New Zealand's latest Bug of the Year- the magnificent Ngāokeoke / Velvet Worm!
NZ has two genera: one lays eggs (Ooperipatellus, 1st photo) and another gives live birth (Peripatoides, 2nd). They also deposit sperm which burrow through their partner's skin, but that's another story! 🧪

Amidst a very busy weekend I found time to Swim and to Read, I’m loving this collection of short stories don’t be misled by the cute pink cover it’s full of dark fables not for the feint hearted.

This packaging makes me 🤤🤤🤤
The Outsiders exhibition is now packed up and ready for storage until March next year when it goes to Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow. One thing I have learned about touring exhibitions is that you should design and pack them in such a way as to make the curator’s life as easy as possible.
