Great piece on BBC Sounds by Eleanor Barraclough visits Highgate Woods in London, I thoroughly enjoyed working with this wonderful team, to reconstruct and fire one of the Roman pottery kilns which operated from c40-150 CE. We could do similar for your project www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

So many people experiencing this. TfL and the Mayor of London need to get a move on to come up with an urgent plan, otherwise if even a tiny fraction of the 550,000 Zipcar members decide to buy a car, parking stress and congestion will increase substantially.

This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”. Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise. And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

A Robin sits silhouetted on a bare branch against a muted golden sky, its beak open as if calling out. The scene is quiet and atmospheric, hinting at the fragility of nature at a moment when vital protections are under threat.

On Highgate Hill, London N6 - a plaque memorialising 17th century poet Andrew Marvell. Author of "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland" (1650) "And now the Irish are asham’d To see themselves in one year tam’d; So much one man can do That does both act and know" #IrishLondonHistory ☘️

Plaque inscription: "Four feet below this spot is the stone step, formerly the entrance to the cottage in which lived Andrew Marvell, poet, wit, and satirist; colleague with John Milton in the foreign or Latin secretaryship during the Commonwealth; and for about twenty years M.P. for Hull. Born at Winestead, Yorkshire, 31st March, 1621, died in London, 18th August, 1678, and buried in the church of St. Giles-in-the-Fields.
This memorial is placed here by the London County Council, December, 1898."
