“After almost 100 years on the planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea,”
-- Sir David Attenborough

This bloke is not only a Legend but is a genuine Global Treasure.

“If we save the ocean, we save ourselves,” says Sir David who this weekend admitted in an exclusive interview with The Times that he “won’t get to see the ocean’s recovery and restoration” but that the ‘young children seen playing on the beach today’ very well may do. At the very least, they will get to witness “perhaps the most consequential time for the human species in the past 10,000 years.”

*This glorious bloke plants many trees for distant children to shelter and pause under.*

#Trawling has "history" stretching back to (at least) the fourteenth century. (apparently) By 1600 it was widespread and practiced large distances from shore.

Attempts have been made to control its damage since the #Tudors

Oceanographic · At 99, David Attenborough shares strongest message for the ocean - OceanographicWith the cinematic release of Ocean on the eve of his 99th birthday, Sir David Attenborough message is loud and clear that time is almost up

Any #Historians out there... Why are years ~1485-1550 years considered the Tudor era, but people refer to 1558-ish to 1603 the Elizabethan era - yet there's no corresponding era in between for the Mary reign.

I mean, I GET Edward VI - he only reigned 6 years which were all beset by Lord Protectors with quite different ideas of reigning. And don't get me started about Lady Jane!

Mary? I dislike her reign. I think it was cruel, & I disagree w/the Act of Succession of 1543 🙄! #Tudors #History

#OnThisDay, 1 Oct 1553, Mary Tudor is crowned Queen of England: the first queen of England to get as far as a coronation and to rule in her own name.

During her reign, 280 religious dissenters were burned at the stake by her order, earning her the nickname ‘bloody Mary’ by her Protestant opponents.

We’ve written about her predecessor and why Mary may have signed her death warrant: carvehername.org.uk/lady-jane-

Greensleeves Project update for World Embroidery Day.
There are a few embroidered items among the gifts presented to Greensleeves in the song, including "a smock of silk, both faire and white, with gold embrodered gorgeously"
The wonderful Juliet Braidwood is working on the smock, embroidering it with black silk and gold thread, using designs taken from contemporary sources. This photograph shows part of her work on a rose, taken from a detail on Nicholas Hilliard's 'Pelican' portrait of Elizabeth I, c1575.
The Greensleeeves Project is supported by The Society of Antiquaries of London

A few verses from an anonymous 17th Century ballad about the fate of Lady Jane Grey.
From the Golden Garland of Princely Pleasures, 1620
Eleanor Cramer: soprano
Richard De Winter: tenor
Tamsin Lewis: alto
A lamentable Ditty on the death of the Lord Guilford Dudley, and the Lady Iane Gray, that for their parents ambition, in seeking to make these two yong Princes King and Queene of England, were both beheaded in the Tower of London.
To the tune of, Peter and Parnell.
