Green Eggs

Green Eggs, but no Ham I still haven’t found out what these green eggs are, carefully laid out on a yellow iris leaf, like snooker balls in a frame. If you look close up on the original picture at maximum size I think it’s possible to make out a circle of little hooks on each egg, like [...]

Fly Fishing in Wales

Here’s somebody who knows how to enjoy a bank holiday weekend by getting away from it all and going fly fishing in Wales.

UK Online Communities

The wiki called WorkNets has a project collating a list of UK Online Communities. UKOnlineCommunities, WorkNets. A culture for independent thinkers. The list is young and obviously has huge gaps, as well as probably many entries which are listed more out of optomism than evidence of community, but it’s going to be well worth watching and [...]
