A Giant Step Backwards!

Disturbing news that the signage of the National Trust at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland includes an 'alternative' creationist account of its origins (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jul/06/creationism-giants-causeway-national-trust). Although it is suggested that this is merElsy a cunning way of attracting the 'crank pound' , this is a distinctly dodgy thing to do. The causeway's geological origins are hardly much in doubt and its presence has no relevance to arguments about the validity of the theory of evolution.

The fungus season is also early this year with what might be a Summer bolete ( Boleatus reticulatus ) in my Loughor garden.
