It is always a bright day when a new Sir David Attenborough documentary drops, although Our Planet II is a series like no other. As the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed nature documentary series Our Planet, it once again…
#StevesLibrary: Spirals in Time
It has been some time since I last wrote a book review for #StevesLibrary, and I’m still catching up on other posts too (watch this space). I recently finished Spirals in Time by Helen Scales, a book that I’ve been…
