Rick has finished school, but the twins start his educationIn 8 parts, By jane700bond. Listen to the ► Podcast at ExplicitNovels. The sun shone hot in a clear late June sky. Thrush and blackbird sang their beautiful songs. The river bubbled gently away as I walked along the path enjoying my release from school exams and looking forward to a summer of freedom before university in the autumn.The meadows beside the river were long with grass and wild flowers, the local farmer liking to keep things natural and encourage the wildlife. Everything was beautiful and everything idyllic. Living deep in the Dorset countryside, very few people came this way. The tourists tended to go south to the coast; here all was wild, quiet and miles from anywhere.I had been walking for about 20 minutes when I first heard the sounds of another human. In the long grass, about 10 feet away, there was a laugh and a sharp scream, followed by a giggle and a tussle. Briefly a blonde head showed above the meadow flowers and then disappeared. I thought I knew the head, well at least I knew one of two heads it could have belonged to, one of the Cranwell twins, the daughters of John Cramwell who farmed the area. I knew them well, being a frequent visitor to the farm as my parents were friends of John. The farm had a pool which was brilliant on hot summer days; and the twins, Lorna and Laura where always there to join in the games and I thought nothing about headed towards them in the grass.Phew! Stepping up to them I found them wrestling together, miniskirts and bikini tops askew with breasts out and nipples showing. Suddenly, Laura, who was underneath spotted me, loosened her arm from her sister's grip, pointed and screamed my name, before laughing again. Well being a young man of conventional persuasion I was torn between staring with delight and turning in embarrassment. Deciding that decency was the better option, I turned away, but Lorna called, "Rick, hey come back."I turned back and the two girls were untangling themselves and patting the grass beside them to show I should come and sit between them. At the sight of these two identical eighteen year old beauties, sitting half naked in the grass, I could not help the feeling of excitement that was rapidly building in my shorts.I stood for a moment in front of them and the twins' eyes seemed to focus half-way up my body. "Rick, are we glad to see you." said Laura. "Yes," said Lorna "you do know we have always thought you were rather cute."I slowly sat down between them. Their breasts were firm and round and tanned, their nipples erect from the excitement of their tussling. Their blue eyes glinted with mischief and wide smiles showed off their perfect white teeth. Each of the girls stood about 5'6" and was slim and smooth skinned. Something in my brain was beginning to flash red and my breath became very short. Although I had known the girls for years and fancied them like mad, I had never had the courage to ask one of them out, and well, you couldn't ask both of them on a date could you?Suddenly, Laura shouted: "Get him!" and they were on top of me. They pushed me flat and Laura sat on my chest and held my arms whilst Lorna sat on my legs. "Have you any idea how horny I am?" asked Laura looking down at me her breasts just inches away from my face. "Lonny and me have just been dreaming of getting a nice boy like you here into this field. In fact we were getting so horny just thinking about it, we had to start playing our fantasy together, but you know, girl on girl is not quite the same." For a moment, I didn't realise what she meant, then I understood, the wrestling was a bit more than a sisterly fight. Wow, I thought, what a fantasy!Lorna has started sliding up my legs and was now sitting astride my cock. I suddenly realised that under her short skirt she had no knickers. She hooked her arms under her sister's and hugged Laura's breasts. Laura moaned. "Yes," said Lorna "we are so wet that I think you should drink some of it.""Want to try?" asked Laura. She undid the top of her skirt and threw it to the side, showing her bare fanny and, without waiting for a reply she moved up and sat her dripping cunt on my mouth. My tongue tasted the saltiness of her excitement and started probing, licking her clit and sucking. My hands moved up to massage her young firm tits, tweaking her nipple with care. She immediately began to moan.Lorna meanwhile, had got off my legs and whilst I was occupied with exciting Laura, I felt her fight with the zip and buttons on my shorts. She massaged me through my pants, turning my cramped cock until my erection was sticking through the top. She then started licking the top, slowly pulling my pants and shorts away until she had covered the whole length with her tongue. I lifted my arse and as she pulled my clothes away she took my cock in her mouth, slowly moving it in and out, sucking and licking.Laura was loving the work I was performing on her clit and I started both teasing it with my teeth, and then worked my tongue deeper inside her. She was getting hotter and hotter and started bouncing gently as my tongue drove up her ecstasy. As my teeth playfully bit, she gave little whimpering gasps of pleasure.After a few of minutes of sheer bliss for both me and Laura, Lorna was beginning to feel left out. She let go of my cock and moved around to my head. "My turn", she said.Laura started slowly to move down my chest, leaving it wet as she went. She grabbed my cock and gently lowered her dripping cunt onto it. She was so wet and hot I thought I might explode, except I was distracted by Lorna, now moving astride my face the other way around from her sister.As I lay in perfect happiness, the two girls kissed and hugged and gyrated over me. Laura going faster and faster riding my cock, and Lorna getting the full benefit of my teeth and tongue. God they were getting excited and so was I, but I wanted to kiss and feel their tongues in my mouth, I wanted to suck their nipples and I wanted to be shafting them both simultaneously.I pushed Lorna off me and Laura too and got them to lie side by side, knees bent and legs spread. Their eager fingers were playing with each other's clits and they were moaning softly. Firstly I got between Lorna's legs as she hadn't had my cock in her yet. I pulled her to me and fastened my lips to hers, tongues going deep and passionate.Laura, got up and came around underneath my pounding cock and started teasing my balls with her teeth. I felt her fingers come and play with Lorna's slit, pushing her fingers into her around me, as I pumped in and out. I let go of Lorna's lips and moved down to her tits. I sucked hard her erect nipples whilst her hand went down her clit to bring her to orgasm. She screamed and buffeted and I knew we were both coming.Laura, still licking my moving balls was playing with her own clit and on the point of coming too. I felt Lorna buck with her orgasm and Laura came in sympathy, I just managed to hold off cumming. I pulled out of Lorna's dripping cunt and Laura came around and took me in her mouth. Lorna got off her back and started licking my balls, I came. My orgasm was enormous; it was like being massaged in every muscle at the same moment. The first wave of cum went into Laura's mouth, she let go and the second spurt flooded out over Lorna's face. She grabbed my cock, wanting to drink it as still I came and came again.Gradually, the waves of pleasure subsided and the flow of creamy sperm ceased. Laura and Lorna took turns to lick my cock clean, then they turned on each other, licking and cleaning the cum off each other's face, so as not to waste a drop.We then all dropped together in the grass, limbs sprawled about. Panting and sleepy in the heat of the afternoon, listening to the gentle flow of the river and the songs of the birds.The night Rick Learnt About Women.I suppose that I ought to explain that before that wonderful summer's day when I had such a wonderful time fucking those beautiful blonde Cramwell twins, I had already lost my virginity. The story of losing it might explain the enthusiasm with which I was willing to have my face sat on by the lovely Laura and why I tried so hard to give pleasure to both the girls. I had a really good teacher and I only wish some of my friends would learn the same lessons. They might get on better with their girlfriends, and enjoy the sex more of course!It was a very cold winter's night when I lost my virginity, learnt a lot about girls and sex and especially how to give pleasure as well as receive it. It happened like this:The winters in rural Dorset can be very cold, not getting the advantage of the warm Gulf Stream like Devon and Cornwall and this particular winter, when I had just turned 18, was particularly cold with deep snow followed by hard frosts. My elder sister, Rachael, who was two years older than me had got us invitations to a New Year party in Brillingham, some six miles from where we lived. The invite was from one her old school friends, Sophie Pellow, whose parents were away that holiday sunning it amongst the pyramids and temples of Egypt. There were to be six of us and unlike most teenage parties I was used to, this was going to be a smart dinner party for which we had both dressed to the nines compared to the usual jeans and tee-shirts. I was wearing black chinos and a black-shirt with the bright crimson jumper I had been given for Christmas.Rachael, who is brunette, like me, has blue eyes and a pretty face, and even though I'm her brother, I've got to admit, one great figure. She looked stunning that night in a micro-mini dress that seemed only just to reach down to the top of her thighs and she wore a glitzy top that showed off the cleavage from those double dee boobs of hers. She wore gold bangles and matching gold necklace and earrings. She smelt of some wonderful exotic scent, but I never asked her the name, well little brothers don't, do they?We had always got on well together, she looked out for me when I was small and then I looked out for her when I grew bigger, I was about 6' by then and she had stopped growing at about 5foot 6. When Mum saw what Rachael was wearing she wasn't too pleased as the night was really cold and Mum thought Rachael would probably freeze. However, Rachael explained she was driving, the car had heating, Sophie's house was warm, so, no problem.Anyway, let's cut the domestic arguments and move forward to trying to get to Sophie's. If you have been to Brillingham, you will know it as a quaint old fashioned village of about twenty cottages along a narrow twisty road, a small place where the gritting lorries don't get to, so the ice tends to stay on the road. Sophie lived about half a mile out of the village in nice cottage set back from the road. It was a reasonable size, but with just three bedrooms (Sophie was an only child). The cottage was built about seventeen hundred, of pink sandstone and shale roof.It was a beautiful frosty night, the stars blazed above us and a three quarters moon made the snow covered landscape shine with an eldritch light.We drove off the main road and down through the village and nearly made it to the cottage, but about 100 yards from the door, Rachael skidded on black ice and the car went into a spin ending up in the ditch at the side of the road. Luckily neither of us was hurt, but the car was a real mess and was not going any further.Rachael was a bit shaken, so I got my mobile out and phoned home. It took some convincing to stop Mum and Dad racing out to save use, but I said we would be fine at Sophie's and there was not much that could be done 'til the morning and we knew Sophie would put us up. Eventually the hot air from down the phone stopped and we got out into the freezing night.You would think that walking 100 yards would be a cinch, but Rachael, bless her heart was in her best high heels, and best high heels and ice and snow do not go together. She went over after just 10 feet, falling headlong into a snow drift. I pulled her out and we went another 10 feet before she was down on her backside. There was little choice, I hoisted her up and gave her a fireman's lift over my shoulder. Wow, that was the worst 100 yards of my life. The road was really treacherous and we both fell over together at least twice more before we got to the door. By this time Rachael was completely blue and couldn't stop shivering in the sub-zero temperature, her micro-mini was riding up above her knickers, her stockings (nice garters sis!) were in shreds and her glitzy top a damp mess that was no longer working as a cleavage holder, we did not care, we just wanted to get through that door!I rang the bell and Sophie answered nearly straight away. We must have been a real sight, I was still shouldering Rachael and it was her wet knickers and torn stockings that first faced Sophie when she opened the door. "Oh my God!" she screamed "are you hurt?"We stumbled into the house and went straight to the living room where I laid Rachael on a sofa in front of the fire. I quickly explained to Sophie about the road and Rachael just being frozen, not really hurt and Sophie said she'd phone the others and tell them not to come as it was obviously too dangerous.Rachael was really shivering uncontrollably, and I hugged her to me; to try and get some warmth into her. Sophie got a brandy and said she would run a hot bath. Rachael clung to me pressing me against her nearly exposed breasts. I have got to confess, that my manhood friend was finding this a little erotic, so despite the cold and despite the fact she was my older sister, I was beginning to get an expansion in my crotch and my pants were getting tight.Sophie called to bring her upstairs, so I gently lifted her again and carried her up the narrow cottage staircase, her ample bosom pressing into my back and my arm holding her just below her rather neat backside. We got her into the bathroom and Sophie and I started taking off that once-stunning outfit, which was now really only fit for the trash.The bathroom was a bit of a surprise in such an old cottage, it was quite large, carpeted throughout and had a raised area into which a large double bath had been sunk. This was now nearly full of steaming bubbly water. Rachael stood shaking on the raised platform as Sophie took one stocking and I took the other and started pulling them down. I looked at Sophie and saw that she gently caressed Rachael's leg as she pulled the stocking down. Rachael murmured and I caught Sophie's eye. There was a tinge of red that started at Sophie's neck and then blossomed up her face. She winked at me!A little surprised, I stood up and started to help with the ruined top and unclasping the sis's bra while Sophie started to ease down her soaking pants. Sophie's hand came around and brushed my hardened crotch as she did so. I gasped.Rachael who was standing a few inches above me turned and looked me in the face. Her teeth were still chattering, her face was streaked with dirt and mascara, but she smiled. "Little bro is growing up I think." She said though clenched teeth. I pulled away her bra and she waved her double-dees in my face, nearly offering her nipples to my gapping mouth.I hadn't seen my sister naked since we were kids and shared the bath and it was, if a little strange, a very pleasant revelation. I started to look at her properly. Her tits were full, her nipples were hard and erect from the cold, her stomach, smooth and flat. My eyes drifted lower towards her pubic triangle where they met Sophie's eyes coming back up.Sophie was caressing her way up the inside of Rachael's legs slowly and deliberately, pausing and kissing her when she got to the trimmed pubic hair at the top. She wasn't shaved as you see so many girls in the magazines, but she obviously had had some treatment as she just had a little dark rectangle of hair left.Sophie pulled herself up, wrapping her arm around Rachael's back side and again deliberately brushed my cock, this time pausing there. I was mesmerised! "Come-on Rachael; into the tub!" she suddenly said and we helped Rachael over the lip into the steaming waters.I stood still on the lower part of the floor behind Sophie as Rachael carefully lowered herself into the bath with Sophie supporting her. Sophie knelt down on the raised bit and started to lap the warm water over sis's shoulders and breasts; and Rachael gradually stopped shivering. After a few minutes, Sophie got some bath oil starting started massaging Rachael's shoulders slowly and gently. She then moved her hands lower and cupping each Rachael's breasts in turn in one hand smoothed down the softening nipple with the other.Rachael's eyes closed, and she groaned and moaned as Sophie gradually worked her way gentle downwards, massaging every part of her soft golden skin.Sophie was also dressed in one of the micro-mini's so popular with the girls (and boys!) that year. Her stocking were black and diamond patterned. Her top was a bit more sensible than Rachael's being a green cashmere polo neck. She was a redhead with green laughing eyes matching the cashmere. Her long hair was tied up in a French braid, over her head.As she massaged my sister I was really in a state of shock, just standing there, erect cock wanting freedom and teenage brain not knowing what to do. Sophie was working her way down Rachael's thighs by now and as she moved, she raised her ass in the air in my direction. I could see the frill of her suspender belt holding up her stockings and I could see the white of her pants. There was a thin darker line of dampness where the knickers were tight against her vagina. She leant over sis and started kissing her breasts. I couldn't believe it as she gently took one nipple in her mouth and started to suck and tease it with her teeth. One hand went between Rachael's thighs and worked its way up, her other came out of the bath back between her own legs where she started rubbing herself through her panties, making them even damper.Dumbstruck, I watched as Sophie teasingly revealed her cunt to me, rubbing it around with her fingers. I had never seen between the legs of a girl before except in some soft porn mags, certainly not a live girl like Sophie just two feet in front of me and I was surprised how red and inflamed it looked. I forgot about Rachael as I watched Sophie play, rubbing herself and groaning in pleasure. I could see the vagina gradually open, like the opening of a pink flower. She rubbed around the edges and it glistened with her juices. She lifted her head from sucking Rachael's tits, turned and looked at me for a long time.Then she asked "Can I trust you?" I was dumb and I couldn't answer. After a minute looking at me with an absolutely wicked expression on her face, she whispered: "Kneel down and lick me. You'll like it, I promise!"My cock was as hard as ebony and I just wanted to release it from its cage and to plunge it into between those pink glistening lips. Instead, I knelt down, pulled the white panties aside and for the first time put my tongue into and tasted the honey that is a girl. The taste was slightly salty, but incredibly more-ish, and quickly my tongue was darting deeper and into Sophie's cunt while she and my sister caressed over the bath. This was a drink I had never imagined having on New Year's Eve and I tried to get more and more of my mouth into that pink fleshiness and suck as much of that juice as I could get.In a few minutes, I became more adventurous and started to use my teeth to tease and nip. Sophie began to buck and cry out, and I pulled back worried I had hurt her. "She straightened up and said "Wow, one fast learner."She turned around, pulled up her rather damp cashmere over her head, showing me her breasts cupped in a black lacy bra. "A tongue like yours needs exercising!" she said; pulling down the front of the bra cups and offering her nipples to my mouth. It was all the invitation I needed and opened my mouth wide to take one of her breasts into it."No!" She said, "Gently lick around the aureole and make my nipples hard." So with her guiding me I started using my tongue first on one nipple and then on the other, watching them swell and harden as they had my full attention. I was still standing and I started to push my aching groin into her body.Whilst I was doing this, a much recovered Rachael suddenly called "Hey, Rick!" "What are you doing with my best friend?""Shush! I'm teaching him how to treat a girl." said Sophie, "He is really very cute."I stood there agape and red in the face, "My God," I thought, "that's my sister! She must be a lesbian, this is obviously her girlfriend and I'm standing here in front of sis with my zipper fit to burst and sucking her girlfriend's tits, how embarrassing can you get?"Sophie simply stood up smiled and started taking off the rest of her clothes. She undid her bra and her gorgeous firm tits came free. Not as big as Rachael's double-dees, but rounded and the size of oranges. She undid her suspender belt and then bent and rolled down each stocking in turn. She then removed her panties, leaving her completely naked in front of me, her trimmed red gold bush shining in the bathroom light."Rick," Sophie said; "you know after all that falling about in the ice and snow, you could do with a bath too. Would you like me to undress you?""But, Rachael!" was all I could say."That's OK, she'll promise to close her eyes when you're naked, won't you Rachael dear?"Rachael giggled. "No, no," she said "I'll just get out and leave you two alone to get to know each other better. Can I get into your bed?"So Sophie gave Rachael an enormous fluffy towel and my sister left the steaming bathroom, with just me and the naked Sophie. "If you want to have the best time of your life" she said "you just follow my lead and learn; OK?"I think my mouth was open again and I stood there and nodded.

Marianne Cranwell narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. In her first blog for Dementia Researcher, Marianne shares the tale of her unexpected emotional journey. During her PhD project with carers of people living with dementia, she learned how it felt to do qualitative research with people who are living through some of their most difficult moments - she explores how this made her feel, the impact on her research and what she has learned along the way. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-on-feeling-qualitative-research-being-naive-and-a-wee-bit-of-crying/ -- Marianne Cranwell is a PhD Candidate in the School of Education and Social Work & School of Health Sciences at the University of Dundee. When not wrangling her two children, Marianne is undertaking qualitative longitudinal research that explores the experiences of co-habiting informal carers of people living with dementia when homecare begins. This research is inspired by her time working in social care, and the families she met during this time where the emphasis was put on the service and the person living with dementia and not on their loved ones. -- Enjoy listening?

On episode 19, Julie & Art visit the Trenchard Museum RAF Halton near Wendover England. Trenchard Museum RAF Halton On the grounds of the Royal Air Force Base of Halton Camp in Aylesbury England, the Trenchard Museum offers a collection of exhibits with a myriad of artifacts from the Trenchard Apprentice Program. A visit here rewards you with views of aircraft, cockpits, aero engines, models and memorabilia which illustrate life, training and notable events in the aircraft apprentice history. This visit was planned by Art to trace the steps of his dad, Bolesław Dobrucki, who arrived at RAF Halton from a Polish Refugee camp in the Middle East with several hundred very young Polish boys in 1943. We discuss the exhibits on display at the Trenchard Museum and the museum archives. Learn about the unique story of the Polish aircraft apprentices who trained at RAF Halton between 1943 through 1948. We highlight this specific history and discuss the several exhibits at the museum that serve the memory of the young Polish apprentices who trained at this facility. Survivors of War The book, “Survivors of War: One Family's Struggle Through World War II” by Dan Dobrucki and Walerian Joseph Dobrucki proved to be a helpful resource that was used to identify this destination for our UK itinerary. Virginia Cherrill We discuss the role of Hollywood Actress Virginia Cherrill, aka Lady Jersey, as the Honorary Guardian of the Polish apprentices at RAF Halton during WWII. The History of the Polish Aircraft Apprentices at RAF Stations Halton and Cranwell While difficult to find, the book Młodociani Lotnicy: Historia Lotniczych Szkół Małoletnich Halton Cranwell Wielka Brytania (History of the Polish Aircraft Apprentices at RAF Stations Halton and Cranwell 1943-1948), is an invaluable resource to learn more about the band of several hundred Polish boys who apprenticed at RAF Halton. This history was authored by Stefan Arkadiusz Petruswicz. Restaurant and Foodie Highlights Our food stop highlight during this trip is Rumsey's Chocolateria and Coffee Shop in Wendover. This location offers the creations of master chocolatier Nigel Rumsey who has been creating an exquisite range of award-winning hand-made chocolates since 1991. We had one of our most enjoyable lunch meals during our UK trip at this coffee shop. Travel Resources We consulted “DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Great Britain” for identifying specific attractions to include during our trip. The book was helpful to identify walking tours, museums, as well as providing days and times that specific places are open to visit. We recommend purchasing a book similar to this one when planning a longer trip. Visit the Trenchard Museum RAF Halton We hope this episode inspire you to consider this historical gem off the beaten path as part of your UK travels. You'll find our blog posts on our day trip excursion to the sights discussed on this episode at the link below: Blog post for Visiting the Trenchard Museum RAF Halton Which attractions will you explore on a trip to the UK?

You've never seen amphibians in this light before. Like, literally, this specific azure light. Today in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers for the first time show that amphibians glow if you throw blue light on them. The tiger salamander suddenly pops with brilliant green spots. Cranwell's horned frog is striped in a nuclear glow. Even the marbled salamander's tiny toe bones fluoresce brightly—oh, and as does its cloaca, perhaps as a kind of sexual display.

There’s that lovely saying that goes something like, "One man’s weed is another man’s wildflower". This is especially true in the case of Queen Anne’s Lace. In the Facebook group for the show, listener Danny Perkins shared how much he enjoyed allowing Queen Anne’s Lace to reign all over in his garden. I feel the same way. But, others do not.... and, I respect that. I think one of the reasons I personally enjoy Queen Anne’s Lace is because it reminds me of Baby's Breath - which does not like to return as a perennial in my garden. On the other hand, this year, I started growing Valerian and I would say that it is another alternative to Baby's Breath and it is similar to Queen Anne’s Lace. Another charming characteristic of Queen Anne’s Lace is that it’s a member of the carrot family. If you crush the leaves and stem, you’ll notice a carrot odor. It's no wonder the scientific name for Queen Anne’s Lace is Daucus carota and the common name is wild carrot. Here’s a fun fact: the Romans ate Queen Anne’s Lace as a vegetable. And here’s an herbal application: the root juice of Queen Anne’s Lace is wonderful for treating itchy skin. Brevities #OTD It’s the anniversary of the death of Andreas Marggraff who died on this day in 1782. Marggraff was a German chemist. In 1747, he figured out a way to isolate glucose from raisins. That same year, he announced his discovery of finding sugar in beets and he came up with a way to use alcohol to extract it. Marggraff’s discovery was not used commercially while he was alive. It wasn’t until 1802, that the first beat sugar refinery opened its doors... and the modern sugar industry was born. #OTD Today in 1840 the world lost a wonderful physician and botanist by the name of Henry Perrine. As a botanist, Perrine was first recognized for his work with quinine as a cure for malaria. Perrine also served as a US Ambassador to the Yucatán. As a result of his position, Perrine was able to bring many tropical plants from Mexico and Caribbean to the United States. In 1838, the United States Congress gave Perrine a land grant which he used to establish a place to grow plants in the Florida Keys. At the time Florida was a territory. Perrine believed that the Florida Keys and South Florida offered the perfect climate for creating what he hoped would be one of the great botanical gardens of the world. Perrine's vision was to turn the wasteland into a tropical paradise Perrine shared his hopes when he wrote to Congress, saying: “This land will grow every tropic a growth in abundance… With settlers on 5 acre parcels, growing such plants - this South Florida area [can] support more population than any... area in the entire south end [as well as] the happiest living conditions…" On Christmas day and 1838, Dr. Perrine and his wife and their children moved to Indian key Perrine was in love with his new surroundings. Unlike many South Florida settlers, Perrine believed that he could live in peace; side-by-side with the local American Indians. Perrine's work was showing promise until this day in 1840. Perrine ’s neighbor was a radical named Jacob Hausman. Hausman had gathered a small militia and had offered Congress a deal; he would kill every American Indian in South Florida and they would pay him $200 per body. Congress never got Hausman's letter, but the Seminole Indians in Florida had learned of Hausman’s plan. It's no wonder, then, that on this day in 1840, they attacked Indian key. But, their chief target, Hausman, had escaped the attack by slipping away in a boat. Dr. Perrine could hear the attack happening outside his house. He quickly tucked his wife and children into a turtle crawl beneath their house and he slid a chest of his Mexican seeds over the trap door in order to conceal it. When the opportunity presented itself, Dr. Perrine spoke to the Indians in Spanish identifying himself as a friend and a doctor. The Indians left... but they returned that evening. They chased Perrine to the cupola of his house where they killed him. Then they set the house on fire. Perrine's wife and children survived the entire ordeal in the turtle crawl, making their way through a narrow tunnel to the sea along side the turtles. The following day a naval vessel rescued Hester Perrine and her children. Today, Perrine and his legacy lives on in the botanicals he brought to Florida: the avocado, the key lime, the mango, and numerous agave. #OTD Today is the birthday of the Indian geneticist MS Swaminathan. Swaminathan is the father of India’s Green Revolution; a movement which distributed high-yield wheat and rice varieties to poor farmers When Swaminathan had graduated from college, he recognized that the number one issue facing his country was food scarcity. While others were concerned with independence, Swaminathan felt that agriculture was the country's highest priority. Instead of pursuing medicine, which was his natural inclination, he decided to pursue degrees in agriculture. And, he continued to get a variety of degrees from numerous top universities from around the world. Swaminathan felt he could best help his country by solving the food problem. On January 4, 1968, Swaminathan gave a lecture at the Indian Science Congress where he first coined the term Green Revolution. Swaminathan wanted to marry technology development and dissemination with ecology. By developing high yielding wheat and rice varieties that small farmers could afford, the people of India became more independent. Today, Swaminathan believes that every person has the right to have food. This belief was forged during what he calls India’s ship to mouth existence - when India had to wait for ships from America, or other parts of the world, to bring in food. The journey from ship to mouth to seeing food as a right is a huge paradigm shift; one which professor Swaminathan has so humbly lead. Unearthed Words "In August, the large masses of berries, which, when in flower, had attracted many wild bees, gradually assumed their bright velvety crimson hue, and by their weight again bent down and broke their tender limbs." - Henry David Thoreau "Summer is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather." - John Ruskin Today's book recommendation: The Evening Garden: Flowers and Fragrance from Dusk Till Dawn by Peter Loewer This book reveals both the history and science of the night garden. The topic of night-blooming plants has always fascinated gardeners. For example, newspaper articles over the past two centuries have shared excited reports of blooms on the night blooming cereus. This book came out in the early 90's and was advertised to gardeners who found themselves working long hours during the daytime which equated to little time for gardening. This book offers information about the history and the raising of night blooming plants as well as chapters on night fragrances, wildlife, and plans for outdoor lighting. It’s an oldie but goodie. You can get copies of this book on Amazon using the today show notes for as little as $.25 Today's Garden Chore Add another layer of layer of mulch to your summer garden. Just adding an extra layer of mulch helps keep the roots of your plants cooler and more moist during hot weather. In turn, that helps to lower the stress level of your plants during this time of the year. This is also a good time to cover up some of the unsightly areas in your garden (spots where you have divided or harvested). Or you can also refresh areas where your mulch has decomposed. Don’t forget that organic mulch is continuously decompose in your beds which in turn helps feed the soil. That said, you don’t want to go into fall or winter with your soil uncovered because open soil is an invitation for weeds - and that's a party you do not want to have to clean up after. Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart Here's a little story about the New Zealand botanist Lucy Cranwell who was born On this day in 1907. Imagine yourself at 21? What were you doing? Well, at 21, Lucy was appointed the curator at the Auckland Museum. Barely more than a child herself, Lucy had a special talent for engaging young students. Ever-encouraging and relatable, Lucy sparked a love of horticulture in her students. Lucy, herself, had an excellent teacher growing up in the form of her father who was a trained nurseryman. Lucy grew up helping with the large orchard on their property. It's no wonder then, that Lucy loved exploring and being in the field. During her days at the University Field Club, her peers knew her as the strongest and fastest walker at the University. One of Lucy‘s dearest friends was the botanist Lucy Beatrice Moore. The two Lucys went on many botanical field trips together. It was a common practice during these trips to sleep out in the open in a sleeping bag. There were many mornings when the the women woke to find themselves covered in frost. Lucy Cranwell served as the curator in Auckland for 14 years. During that time she collected over 4,000 plants for the herbarium and she created something she called "Botany Trots" - a term I absolutely adore. Botany Trots were these little botanical excursions for the children of New Zealand. Now, isn't that sweet? Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Dr Frank Ledwidge, Barrister, Writer and Lecturer Darwin College Lecture Series 2016 – Games The failed British military campaigns in Basra and Helmand followed similar courses. They began confidently, followed by defeat in the field and US military bail-out. The enemies of UK forces now dominate both theatres. British generals prided themselves on their prowess in exactly the kind of conflicts they thought they had entered- ‘counterinsurgency’. How then did they go so wrong? Before an army becomes involved in conflict, it should fully understand the kind of war it is going to be, what it wants to achieve by it and how the war will achieve those ends. British generals failed to ensure clarity on any of these questions and had no workable strategy. Further, they lacked a corporate culture and flexibility to understand and adapt to the environments in which they found themselves and defaulted to methods for which they were trained. The lack of a sound intelligence system and consequent situational naivete allowed their enemies to gain and retain the initiative. However, whilst there is a long way to go, there are signs that UK military leadership is developing the necessary skills and awareness to conduct successful operations. Biography Following eight years as a Barrister in Liverpool, Dr Frank Ledwidge served as a reserve military intelligence officer on front-line operations in Bosnia, Kosovo and Iraq.He has also worked as a civilian security and justice advisor in UK Missions during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya. A law graduate of Oxford University, Frank holds a doctorate from Kings College London awarded for a study of the role of courts in insurgency. He is the author of two well-reviewed and bestselling studies of Britain’s recent military adventures ‘Losing Small Wars’ (Yale 2011) and ‘Investment in Blood’ (Yale 2013). He currently lectures in strategy and international law for Portsmouth University at the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell.
