Went to the new Women in Print exhib at the William Morris Gallery. It is a deep dive into the women designers at Liberty. Not a big exhibition but great if you are into heavily patterned textiles.

Went to the Design & Disabilty exhibition at the V&A. I'd always thought I was 'disability aware', but there were so many humbling 'I hadn't realised / hadn't occurred to me' moments. Definitely go if you can.
Although don't go on a Saturday. South Ken. is a mare.

Well-managed solar farms can boost wildlife - Cambridge study Findings by the RSPB and Cambridge University find solar farms can contribute to and aid biodiversity.

Some good news for a change

Scientists found solar farms had a greater number of species & individual birds per hectare than surrounding arable land

Solar did not pose a threat to national food security, esp when built on low or moderate grade agricultural land

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Liz Truss called solar farms a “blight on the landscape”, but researchers have found they are actually better for birds than farmland

Solar farms in East Anglia had greater bird diversity & bird abundance than nearby arable land, a study finds
