Brilliant news on a Friday afternoon: gov will launch new natural history GCSE. It's taken Mary Colwell, @carolinelucas.bsky.social & others years of campaigning. (I'm praying it'll be introduced quickly enough for my children!)

Yellow Eye O Yellow Eye
Yellow as the yellow Moon.

Out of the Black Hole of the North
