I called in yesterday at North Cave Wetlands - just two junctions to the east along the M62 - where the old gravel pits are now a nature reserve. The animated scene on the lagoons put lockdown into sharp perspective. It’s difficult to take seriously the idea that God created the universe with humans in mind, when the rest of the natural world treats our existential crisis with equanimity. Would the birds care if we became extict? More to the point, would the lapwings, grebes and black-headed gulls even notice?
Licenced today: the bar of what, in the good old days, we used to call a ‘pub’, or ‘public house’, or ‘local’, or ‘boozer’…
