Amelia's photos

Grasmere is one of the smaller lakes of the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria. It gives its name to the village of Grasmere, famously associated with the poet William Wordsworth, which lies immediately to the north of the lake. We were here for a long weekend for our Grandson's wedding and had marvellous weather for the time of year.

The village of Happisburgh in Norfolk is being consumed by coastal erosion. The coastline on which the village sits is being eroded by the sea at a rate of 12 metres per year. I have been visiting this area for the past 3 years, and have seen this rapid deterioration with my own eyes. Buildings have toppled down the cliffs, and caravan sites have had to be moved. A new car park has had to be constructed - the last one is no longer there. The sea is relentless, and the cliffs are very fragile. On the day this photo was taken, the sea was quiet, but storms last winter caused much devastation.

UNISON is one of the UK's largest trade unions, serving more than 1.3 million members.

I spent a very chilly couple of hours on the first day of Advent, watching the sun slowly rise on the calm water of this fjord.

A flower of cold beauty and a symbol of 'the wilderness and wetlands'. Also known as the 'bog star', it isn't actually a grass at all, belonging to an entirely different botanical class. It isn't a common flower, although possibly many people would miss it as it is so tiny.

Commonly known as the sickener, emetic russula, or vomiting russula gives you some idea of the effects of eating this fungus. I think the red colour is enough to warn one.
