This August, @Kings_College's wildflower meadow was harvested once again – with the help of Cosmo and Bryn! 🐎 The Shire horses helped to cut the meadow over 3 days, and the bales of hay will now be distributed across the city to create more wildflower meadows. 📷 Lloyd Mann

I finish watching Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland - harrowing, brilliantly structured, with an incredible array of interviewees, all of them, across the political & sectarian spectrum, powerfully & often movingly articulate. The best documentary series I’ve watched all year.
