Rain

Monday, June 25th, 2007

And it rained and rained and rained… I wanted some new pictures of the lake, but I was worried about being washed away, as it now looks like a small sea. I’ll have to get some pictures tomorrow.

Some more pictures here from the B.B.C. , summer anyone?

If you have any good pictures let me know.

Welcome to Mr Herman from the United States, who is exchanging with Miss Thornhill from September to October, looking forward to her U.S. blog.

St.Ann’s- A voice from the Past.

One for Year.8

Thanks to Miss Toolin, who gave me this link to Frances Conway, speaking about St.Ann’s before the redevelopment. Whereas in Geography we discuss the reasons for the changes and the impacts, English study the accent.

A nice living resource.

Monday:
Prolonged and heavy rain with continuing a risk of localised flooding. Perhaps drier and brighter for a time over southern parts. Cool in the rain with a chilly northerly wind.

Vertical Farming

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

verticalfarms Hat tip Alan. This is a fascinating idea, urban vertical farms. Less space, locally grown produce reducing carbon footprints (But as we know, food can be produced in the U.K. , transported to the continent, for washing and packaging, and then shipped back to the U.K. :( ), visually pleasing. But what about countryside?  One for the National Rural Dimensions conference at the start of the month.

New Forest Stadium Update

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

nottm_forest The fall out from the announcement of a potential new Forest stadium continued today. The villagers of Gotham are reported to be against the development, stating that it will damage the environment and the picturesque nature of the Village. They are also worried about the sub-urbanisation of the village into the former council estate of Clifton. Forest have been stressing the potential benefits to the Clifton area, including employment and inward investment.

Forest have been offering further reasons for their decision including the lack of access to the city ground and the rising cost of redevelopment. The opinion within the fan base seems to be evenly divided at the moment, but some high profile individuals have been expressing their support.

I feel a lesson coming on…
