Te Papa Tongarewa and Perth Museum saw the creation of a collaborative and radical new gallery in Perth Museum, telling the story of Māori taonga, or sacred treasures. These powerful objects were reawakened to the world through a special dawn ceremony which can be seen here

The very first demand the British people should have made on Andrew Windsor was to pop into Scotland Yard and get everything he knew committed to a statement and corroborated by his permanent police security team. I'm disgusted how mob rule has taken place in our country.

On 30 October, we remember Saint Talorcan of Fordyce, a quiet beacon of the early Pictish church. Little is written of him, yet the land held his name when pages did not. At the wells and shorelines of the north he sowed prayer, leaving a light that endures beyond words.

An interesting Radio 4 program on billionaires wanting to live forever after downloading their brains to be uploaded again in a new body. Mother Nature has been doing this forever. I literally downloaded my kids and spent the last 20 years uploading them with info.
