    THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

    Just a couple of quotes to prove that Prospero is still about, even if he hasn’t posted for a couple of days. (Look out for a news update later today)

    space-alien-backs-bush-for-president.jpgThe only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren’t any space aliens. We can’t be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we’re not all there is. If so, we’re in big trouble – Ellen DeGeneres

    gc-marshall.jpgIf man does find the solution for world peace it will be the most revolutionary reversal of his record we have ever known – George C. Marshall

    MYCOLOGY WORKSHOPS

     programa.jpg

    The tenth edition of the Los Alcornocales Nature Part Mycology Workshops is planned for this week-end. Please see the full programme above. If you haven’t registered for the trip to collect samples, it is now too late. However, there are plenty of other things to do and see, including having a meal, or several, at local restaurants, almost all of which have a special menu built around wild mushrooms. Some of the dishes are absolutely delicious, and well worth a try.
