There’s something quite endearing about ‘old’ pumpkins, don’t you think? I just want to give them a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Solar panels covering a car park. Brilliant! Provides shelter, easy charging points for electric cars & doesn’t waste agricultural land or natural habitats. Why isn’t this compulsory whenever a carpark is built? Well done #Écomusée d'Alsace #organicthinking

Compare your school timetable to Finland! Here’s my son’s latest study plan for his 9-10yr age grp. Plenty of play @pasi_sahlberg @williamdoylenyc & time 2 explore hobbies after school. PS play is *always* outdoors, even w heavy rain or -20 C temp. Kids jst wear proper clothes!
