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 Queen May Not Say 'Cheese' (Anymore)!
The UK's Queen has bestowed a royal warrant on Dairy Crest, makers of her favourite Cheddar Cheese. The company is now threatened with the warrant's possible removal, on environmental grounds (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jun/29/queen-could-revoke-davidstow-cheddar-dairy-crest-royal-warrant-river-pollution). Dairy Crest have filled an entire river near their establishment with noxious black sludge. A royal warrant is a useful marketing device. It seems a bit feeble to suggest Dairy Crest should get its environmental act together, to retain it. Dairy Crest: makers of Davidstow cheddar and noxious black sludge?
