I wrote last week on the wonderful new work of public art in London entitled The Wildlife Table of Love in Paternoster Square. I mentioned in that post how I have long enjoyed seeing the public work of artists Gille and Marc around London and indeed in many other large cities around the world. Some artwork… Continue reading Rabbitwoman and Dogman

The Queen’s Green Canopy
Last week when I was out and about in London I passed through the Embankment Gardens as I do quite often. It’s one of the most beautiful parks in Westminster and always full of blooming flowers, well kept lawns, water features and in the summer, much needed shady trees. I’ve written before about London named… Continue reading The Queen’s Green Canopy
New Year, New Rainforest
When people think of rainforests they tend to think of tropical ones such as the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. Not many people realise that that you can have temperate rainforests and that just as the tropical varieties are currently being cleared by unscrupulous governments and commercial organisations, so to did most of the temperate rainforests… Continue reading New Year, New Rainforest
Covid Diary 82: Warming up a 200 year old house
I’ve lived in my new house now for almost 2 years but due to being Excluded and without income or any government support, things that in normal times I could get done in weeks are currently taking years. My house is split into two sections. The original chuck of the house from about 1824 and… Continue reading Covid Diary 82: Warming up a 200 year old house
The environmental hypocrisy of Prince Harry
In Britain this summer, hardly anything has made the news this summer outside of a few major stories. Brexit of course, various protests bringing London to a halt many of which are invariably environment related and the seemingly strained relations of Prince Harry and Meghan with Prince William and Kate…. oh and the fact Harry… Continue reading The environmental hypocrisy of Prince Harry
London named the first National Park City in the World
When you think of a national park, images of sweeping landscapes and rolling hills likely spring to mind. So it may come as a surprise to learn that London has officially been crowned as the world’s first National Park City. In doing so perhaps finally shunning its its reputation as a pea-soup smog-filled metropolis to become… Continue reading London named the first National Park City in the World

The fact the the exhibition is in East London may give something of a clue that Alexander Parkes is the man… Continue reading Alexander Parkes – The man who changed and poisoned the world
London – The first National Park City in the World
One way or the other, London is famous for many things. Whether it be History, finance, empire, culture or just the weather. One of the things that might not spring to mind when you think of London, however, is just how green it is even though by area, it has by far more green and… Continue reading London – The first National Park City in the World
Has Trump handed over American Hegemony? Poisoning the world – the new American dream.
It’s always been one of the themes of history that I have found most interesting; that moment when the primary power in the world sees its position usurped. History is replete with turning points where one massive power is surpassed by a rival. The causes can be varied from natural disasters to simple economics. As… Continue reading Has Trump handed over American Hegemony? Poisoning the world – the new American dream.
Olio – The Food Recycling App #zerofoodwaste
Every now and then the internet actually comes up with something undeniably good and helpful, maybe something that would actually be impossible before the 1990’s rather than just being another channel for selling you junk that you don’t need. I still think Airbnb is probably the best idea ever realised on the Internet, a true… Continue reading Olio – The Food Recycling App #zerofoodwaste
