@greateranglia I wanted to mention your awesome staff at the Cambridge and Cambridge North stations on Thursday - I left my bag on the train at Cambridge and when I asked to look for it every one of the staff members was incredibly helpful and kind (and I got my bag back!)

Yesterday, Magdalene College scooped the RIBA Stirling prize for best new building in the UK. Impeccably built by contractor Cocksedge, It is the work of Níall McLaughlin, an Irish architect based in London who designed the building to last at least 400 years.

My goal is to change the way people think about boglands. Please help!

Did you know that being in a bog means standing on ~5,000 yrs or more of carbon-storing power, which has caused planetary cooling? Trust me, we want and NEED bogs on our side. 1/

You learn something new every day and every trip to @Ely_Cathedral - I absolutely love this beautiful wooden table and the story behind it https://t.co/0jIPm2yDwZ

I love bogs for a million reasons. One is that they have removed carbon out of the atmosphere and locked it away in peat, thus cooling the Earth's climate for thousands of years. Today, we urgently need to protect bogs to protect our climate. Save a bog, save ourselves.
