Looking forward to this!

Almost in a food coma. Had two glasses of wine which hasn't mixed well with the antihistamines. In an uber and he's playing AWFUL music. 😫

Every school needs this!!
Wild Places: The Life of Naturalist David Attenborough is a beautifully illustrated & highly informative biog sharing his journey and impact. The spreads by John Rocco are stunning. I’ll keep the under the sleeve illustration as a surprise! Wow!
