I’m often in two minds about discussing the weather. For one thing, it’s so fleeting – one sunny moment in this country could be closely followed by a raging storm. For another, it’s deeply personal – I love autumnal weather the most for it’s rich variety and colourful beauty. But the main reason I despair […]
Back in 1809 on this day (a month ago – I was never any good at anniversaries…), Charles Darwin was born. As you probably know, Darwin was the father of evolution… Plus he had a great beard. Speaking of great beards, it turns out Abraham Lincoln was born on the same day. I wonder if […]
