We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.

We are delighted to share this book of medicinal cures. It was owned by Elesebeth Loggins of Bretforton in the year 1690. Entries are incredibly endearing with phonetic spelling and vernacular dialect. Needless to say, we don't recommend testing these recipes! @TheHiveWorcs

OK here we go. Conceivably the greatest, most technical accomplishment in the history of natural history art: nearly 4000 glass models of flowers created by Rudolph and Leopold #Blaschka for @HarvardMuseum. None of the objects in here look like glass.
Readers, they're all glass.
