I thought the explanation I’d given about black holes was family-friendly. But, after what she had said, I had to rethink my examplesRead more in the a job that changed me seriesIn the first year of my science degree, I was fortunate to land a job as an astronomy guide at the Sydney Observatory. In my role, I would lead tour groups of about 20 people. We’d look at stars and planets through telescopes. If the skies were filled from horizon to horizon with clouds, we’d explore more of the universe through a 3D theatre. And to peer beyond what our telescopes could see, we’d pile inside the cosy planetarium, seeing what the light pollution of Sydney and clouds would often obstruct from our view.My favourite object to show in the planetarium was the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image. Before revealing the image, I’d explain how the Hubble space telescope had stared at a piece of sky the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length for 11 days, collecting enough light to look into the farthest corners of the universe. Then I’d zoom in on that tiny piece of sky, revealing the gorgeous image. At least one person would audibly gasp at the reveal. Continue reading...
A new start after 60: At 26, I saw my dream Porsche. At 68, I built one from scratch

Bill Drysdale could never afford the sports car he fell in love with as a young man. So when he retired, he went to night school to learn welding, and began assembling it, bit by bit ...When he was 26, Bill Drysdale saw a Porsche 904 at Silverstone racetrack and fell in love. “One day,” he vowed, “I will have one of those.” As the years went by, the price of Drysdale’s dream car rose above £1m. “I realised I was never going to be able to buy one.” But when he retired, still harbouring the dream, he thought: “Why don’t I make one?”Drysdale grew up in Wigtown, Scotland, and cars were in his blood – his grandfather was chauffeur to the local creamery manager, and he first saw a race with his father, when he was 12 – around the time that his mother went into hospital with multiple sclerosis. Drysdale, an only child, grew close to his father. At 14, he taught him to drive. Together they’d huddle in the kitchen to listen to the Le Mans 24 Hour race on the radio. Continue reading...
Allotmentcore: why everyone is dressing like Barbara in The Good Life
10/26/26 10:00 AM
Clogs, chore jackets, straw hats and woven baskets are the look of the season. But are the brands and people embracing this aesthetic really doing any gardening?Lately, it feels like you can’t move for clogs. Everywhere you look, it’s straw hats, dungarees, floaty dresses, chore jackets and basket bags – and that’s in city centres, not garden centres. This is the rise of “allotmentcore” – somewhere between the linen-clad luxury of the “coastal grandmother” and the whimsical outdoorsiness of “cottagecore” – and it’s coming for all of our autumns.“I’d describe it as Little House on the Prairie meets Felicity Kendal in The Good Life, meets Bill and Ben,” says Mal James, professor of fashion design at the University of Edinburgh. “With the overall style of an imaginary love child of Monty Don and Pamela Anderson, the reinvented queen of garden chic.” It’s true that Anderson – once most famous for sporting a high-leg red swimsuit – has more recently become a pioneer of the allotmentcore style, living “romantically” in midi dresses and bandanas, frequently clutching floral bouquets. Popular brands include the family-run Carrier Company from Norfolk, Danish designers Skall Studio and Welsh-founded lifestyle label Toast. As online fashion publication Who What Wear put it: “If it looks like you’re ready to sport a pair of pruning shears at any moment, you’ve got the look right.” Continue reading...
