Hello lovely readers. As most of you are aware, my blog centres on nurturing in all its forms,  whether that be at work or at play, hence a post about environmental developments may seem a little at odds. Well, I say anything that might offer joy, as this omnipresent virus continues to disrupt life as we know it, has to be worth sharing and these will simply delight you. Straight from ‘Window on the World’, a thoughtfully penned article sharing David Attenborough’s career and his opinions on the future of our earth. (Mindfood June/July 2020). Enjoy!
