What could make a journey on @AvantiWestCoast even more pleasant when it is already scheduled to get into London an hour later than normal? How about an additional hour's delay and a lack of A/C in the only unreserved carriage on a packed train? What joy!

Anna Atkins is, along with Edith Nesbit, the most famous person to have lived in the Kentish village in which I was raised ...

Wonderful to see the very rare display of all three volumes of Anna Atkins Photographs of British Algae, Cyanotype Impressions at the Linnean Society, London. Exhibiting together shows equal care and attention to all algae specimens - a must visit!

IMPORTANT The campaign for a GCSE in Natural History has stalled. Labour see it as a "Conservative initiative" and won't progress it. It is not a political football, every child has the right to learn about the wonder of the natural world. Plse ask you MP to lobby for it now. 🙏

Thanks to @chilternrailway my weekly commute up north has been seriously delayed or cancelled for the 3rd week in a row. Travelling by rail in this country has become such a dispiriting grind, esp with TOCs like Chiltern running stock from the 1990s that constantly breaks down.
