Lovely to hear the Woodland Trust talking about a ‘mast year’ on @BBCr4today - one in which our woods abound in nuts and acorns. ‘Mast’ in this sense meant a ‘feeding’ or ‘fattening’, because the fallen fruit of our beeches, oaks, and chestnuts was used as fodder for pigs.

🇯🇪Cricket is booming in the Channel Islands. Jersey has a population of 100,000, and yet they only missed out on the T20 WC on net-run-rate, and are currently on track to make the ODI WC. Can they really make it? A piece from the Rock. observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…

Terrifying footage, reminiscent of the LA wildfires, shows a massive blaze raging out of control in southern France's Aude region. This is France’s largest wildfire since 1949, scorching an area larger than Paris, and destroying dozens of homes.

Sedbergh is probably the most picturesque outground to watch Lancashire play and not somewhere I'd seen a game before. The women easing past Essex today.

Today is the centenary of the first BBC broadcast of the shipping forecast. As a follower of BBC Test Match Special, I've lost count of the times as a kid when I'd hear the familiar "....and welcome back to listeners, where England have lost another wicket...." No change there.

Peace is not built in conference rooms. Peace is built in classrooms, in clinics, in communities. Peace is built when people have hope, opportunity & a stake in their future. Investing in development today means investing in a more peaceful tomorrow.
