Beaver Construction: The beavers who constructed a £1 million venture at no cost, and Alexa Chung's fresh Barbour clothing line reveal
============================================
In the realm of news, a sinkhole has appeared in the small town of Godstone, located within the M25 where south London meets Surrey. The BBC's local reporters have been providing updates on this intriguing geological phenomenon, accompanied by jaw-dropping images.
Meanwhile, in the world of fashion and lifestyle, Barbour and Alexa Chung have launched a new collection that is inspired by old school vibes and 1980s music festivals. The collection, described as cheeky, funny, and amazing by the company, can be viewed at www.barbour.com/alexa-chung. The new line features a 1970s style caravan and a nod to Alexa's festival styling. Alexa Chung herself states that she is in love with the second collection she has designed for Barbour.
In the realm of gardening, David Austin's bare root rose collections are making a comeback. According to David J. C. Austin, chairman of David Austin, these roses embody the essence of mindful gardening. Tending to bare root roses offers a powerful moment of calm and purpose, he says. The practice is a hands-on journey that rewards care, attention, and a connection to nature. All of David Austin's bare root rose collections are priced at £60.
David J. C. Austin, digital director of the platform, believes that the slow living movement is a cultural shift that is beneficial. He has been running the website and social media channels since 2016.
Moving on to some interesting ecological news, a group of beavers in Czechia have built a dam, saving local authorities approximately £1 million. The dam, better than the one designed on paper, according to Jaroslav Obermajer, helps maintain and regulate river volumes and sediment flow, reducing fluctuations that might require costly human intervention. This ecological service reduces the need for expensive civil engineering projects aimed at flood control or water retention, thereby saving substantial construction costs over time.
Lastly, mark your calendars for the return of the Dawn Chorus on Monday.
