Aren’t locusts amazing? Did you see them last night on Planet Earth 2? How amazing?!!
But we did do for the Rocky Mountain Locust without even trying – see A Message from Martha p202-03.
And the scorpion-eating bat from the Negev?
And the shoulder-barging giraffe?
And the scurrying beetles condensing water from the fog?
I like deserts but the world will be a little less full of life without Ed on Strictly. Read his book to see what a guy he is.
There’s an awful lot of book marketing going on! You plug mine and I’ll get you into The Times darling!!
Rowan – funnily enough, this is the website of an author. And I make nothing from plugging Ed Balls’s book – and precious little plugging my own. If you don’t like it, don’t moan, just go away. Missing you already…
I know you don’t mean it.
Nothing wrong with a spot of plugging or observation.
However, the reference was to John Lewis- Stempel. You’ve forgotten already?
Rowan – you don’t know what you are on about so how can I?
The locusts WERE amazing! And the bats! It was all amazing – nature is amazing!
