"To be transported immediately into calf deep mud...to a rural village marinated in poverty, superstition, and rough Catholicism, and to believe you are truly in an isolated village in 1491, is a rare feat."

The root cause of team dysfunction stems from an absence of trust. Great improvisers build a safe environment for their fellow players to work within #scrum #agile #teamwork #business

The more I look at this tweet the more inappropriate it seems - a government minister responsible for the environment basically advertising a very specific brand of herbicide less than 24 hours after a court found that it causes cancer.

No question Samantha Harvey’s #TheWesternWind is one of my books of 2018 so far. In Oakham a man has killed himself or been murdered, why? Told backwards in a slow yet intricate way by the village priest John Reve, one of the most wonderful narrators I’ve read in a long while.
