Global Warming: Rita, Katrina and the College Cactus Garden
Bishop Albert Heeman of Ashdown Forest came to Seals Island in the summer to open the new cactus garden at the College. We had a hell of a time growing anything on the land: it's reclaimed from the Chanel and has been under salt water for about 300 years off and on. We were able to restore the house behind which must have been new at the time of Seals Island's innundation. The severe drought in the south of England has meant that Seals Island has dried out and a lot more ground has been reclaimed. I'm the one on the far right carrying the holy water (see yesterday's blog).
It was really hot this summer, but thankfully we have the sea. Clearly it's global warming that causes all these changes, but I hear hardly anything about that from America.
