This little bee hatchling is one of the several leaf cutter bee species
that are native to the UK. They’re valuable pollinators in the garden
and a gardener’s friend 😀 Signs of their presence can be seen in plants that have had elliptical shapes cut from their leaves, particularly on roses.
Thank you so much to Emily Doorish for allowing us to share this video,
helping to raise awareness of the importance of solitary bees during #SolitaryBeeWeek.

“Bilingualism strikes me as a kind of synesthesia. Instead of seeing colors associated with letters and words, instead of hearing melodies, what I hear with language is the play and echo of the other language. The option to say it differently, and thus to live it differently…”

Fred Judge, founder of the eponymous postcard company, took a series of photos of London By Night, published in book form in 1924. The lighting, the focus, the fog and the people present an evocative but recognisable sense of what a night in town would have been like 94 years ago. From top to bottom, Tottenham Court Road, ‘The Westminster Bus Stop’, ‘By The Waldorf Hotel’, Leicester Square and ‘A Night Arrival At The Grand Hotel’. More to follow.
