Scarabtrust.org, May 2022 We are living in a critical moment in the climate and nature crises. More people want to play their part than ever before. Most households around Britain recycle much of their household waste items, and eco-friendly and conscious alternatives and shopping options from handbags made from designer plastic, to pens made from…

Of the many claims that Donald Trump made in his bid for the presidency, one of the most memorable was his dismissal of climate change. Whereas nominee Hillary Clinton listed “Protecting animals and wildlife” and “Climate change” as two major topics on her campaign website, Trump included nothing about the environment. On the contrary he…

9/11. 7/7. For the majority of people, these sets of numbers require little more explanation. They are forever synonymous with the horrific events that they connote,  events in the recent past which sent shockwaves of horror around the globe. Both started off as perfectly ordinary working days, but as the horrific events unfolded, hundreds and…

Welly Ball; the night of the year where the two things that St. Andrews loves so much are combined to make one perfect evening. Hosted by the Clay Pigeon Society, this is a ball with a difference. The attendees can ditch the stilettos, brogues and any other items of appropriate formal footwear, as (you’ve guessed…

The end. After six series of glorious period drama, our beloved “Downton Abbey” showed its final episode (although luckily we still have the much-awaited Christmas episode to look forward to).

Two marriage proposals one marginally more successful than the other, a horrifying motor death, but (most importantly) a new puppy! Shocks and surprises were not thin on the ground in this week’s Downton. The episode opened with Mrs. Patmore as the proud owner of a B&B, which led her to have a girly/middle-aged womanly gossip…

It was open day at the Abbey in this week’s Downton as the house was available for the public to view for the first time, an initiative which divided opinions amongst the Crawleys. Relegated to his sickbed, Robert got little say in the matter, although he was staunchly set against it as (unsurprisingly) were Carson…

Familiar faces were back at the Abbey in this week’s Downton, some more welcome than others. The episode was a slow-burner after last week’s long-awaited wedding, opening with Sargent Willis returning (he is there so often he may as well just move in), only this time not to speak to Anna but to Baxter.  Her…

Unions and reunions at the abbey with tears and laughter in this week’s Downton. The episode opened with another tug of war and more plotting between Team Violet and Clarkson and Team Isobel and Cora, resulting in high tensions amongst all involved, making last week’s stressful wedding preparations seem like child’s play. With the venue…
