'Though the human race and its works disappear tracelessly by time or bomb, the sun does not falter in its course; the stars keep their invariable vigil. Cosmic law cannot be stayed or changed, and man would do well to put himself in harmony with it. If the cosmos is against might, if the sun wars not with the planets but retires at a dueful time to give the stars their little sway, what avails our mailed fist? Shall any peace indeed come out of it? Not cruelty but goodwill arms the universal sinews; a humanity at peace will know the endless fruits of victory, sweeter to the taste than any nurtured on the soil of blood'

Witton Park - my current project is based on Pleasinton Cemetery, Witton Park and Billinge Woods. Been looking into the history of Witton Park as a working farm 

Billinge woods exploring - thinking about foraging for food/ what types of plants are growing there/ circular objects. I collected among other things leaves, mushrooms, tree sap, moss and a sprouting conker
