As H. L. Mencken said "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong." Land management involves vast, multi-varient, multi-temporal systems. One stop, tabloid solutions are, to use the correct terminology, hooey. #ShowMeDontTellMe

Heard upsetting news that our lobster supplier The Tina Louise has been targeted on 28th July & sunk. Only just got over lobsters being stolen twice from their tanks & past creel damage. @PoliceScotland pls get this info out over your social media & let’s catch these criminals.

Women having to travel long distances to give birth and then being turned away is unacceptable. Neither is it acceptable to wait in a car as labour progresses. The alternative - to pay for a hotel room for labour - is not an NHS free at the point of need.

This happened to a Moray mum in recent months. Unacceptable on every level.

I never get tired of seeing photos of Roman mosaics emerging under a vineyard near Verona in Italy. The remains of a villa, believed to date to the 3rd century AD, were unearthed in a hilly area above the town of Negrar di Valpolicella. theguardian.com/world/2020/m…

“Given the business plan requires high occupancy, there will be a need to eliminate competition. Sadly, it would appear that self-catering is in the firing line as Edinburgh Council seeks to regulate the sector out of existence.”

I've learnt alot about febrile seizures today & what to do about them. As common as they seemingly are, if I never saw another infant like that again it would still be too soon. nhs.uk/conditions/febrile-se…

Wow, an extraordinary survival! A Mesolithic axe used by a hunter-gatherer some 7,000 years ago! 🤩 Red deer antler and hazel wood. The pointed end suggests it was also used for digging/foraging. From a submerged Ertebølle coastal settlement, Tybrind Vig, Denmark. #Archaeology

Obviously the source is known for hyperbole, but all this media coverage is so striking - armoured vehicles, snipers etc, for one possible lion?! And these are often the same people who think Africans should just live with lions without issues! 🤯🤯 dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

A baby 🥰 Hopefully they continue to hang out in the polytunnel and keep the slugs and bugs in check 🙏🤞 (Only handled as they were chilling out beneath a plant pot and I needed to move them somewhere safer out of the way).
