This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

The First Cut is the Deepest?
Dutch TV is apparently including coverage of truck drivers, coming from the UK, having their ham and cheese sandwiches confiscated by officials at Hook of Holland customs (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/11/dutch-officials-seize-ham-sandwiches-from-british-drivers). Post-Brexit, Products of an Animal Origin (PAO's) like butter, cheese and ham cannot be imported into the EU to stop the arrival of potential animal pathogens (like foot and mouth disease). Happily, the drivers can probably buy a broodje gezond (which is actually nicer), as soon as they cross the border into The Netherlands.
