Neanderthal and a modern human
A recent item on BBC News is headed Face of 75,000-year-old Neanderthal woman revealed
“Revealed” seems to imply “for the first time”.
Not so. There is a superb Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann, Germany.

Impressed?
I know I am. “Impressed” doesn’t cover it. “In awe” would be better.
What fine humans.

Our return to Bern
This time with Aaron’s aunt Sophie, uncle Edward, and cousin Olivia.
An excursion to Estavayer-le-Lac. The resort is on the shore of Lake Neuchatel, and just outside the striking mediaeval castle wall.

Put it to the People
23 March. At a rough guess, about twice the number of people who were at the March for a People’s Vote.
A long wait at the advertised starting point in Park Lane. A bottleneck into Piccadilly. We eventually turned into Green Park, eventually to meet our daughter, Sophie. Lunch in St. James’s Park and then to Parliament Square, still crowded long after the speeches has finished. In addition to the route of the march itself, many roads in the West End had been closed, apparently in response to unexpectedly large crowds.
