Summer 1975 was a glorious time to be young on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard. “We had the beaches to ourselves – nobody else wanted to go in the water, not even a lot of people who’d lived there all their lives,” recalls Chris Lowe. “I was 12, and my friends and I thought it was awesome.”Why were these shores so empty? Because they’d just suffered a series of lethal attacks by a great white shark – albeit not a real one.

Some 250 million years ago, displays at the excellent little Sidmouth Museum inform me that dinosaurs roamed this area. To suggest not much has changed might be a little unkind – but maybe only a little. The grey pound reigns in Sidmouth, a Devon town sometimes dubbed “God’s waiting room”, particularly outside school holidays.

I smelled Lady Liuwa before I saw her. To be more accurate, I smelled the remnants of her dinner – a wildebeest reduced to a fly-blown pile of flesh, fur, horns and hooves. From the safety of my four-wheel drive, my gaze met those of the culprits lounging in the shade of a snake bean tree: one, two, three pairs of amber leonine eyes. Any such sighting is precious. Africa’s lions now number probably fewer than 25,000, hit by loss of habitat and prey, human-wildlife conflict and other threats.

Initiating the medical evaluation of a potential concussion during sports events occurs when there is suspicion of a possible injury. Clinical suspicion may arise from observing a substantial head impact, observable concussive signs and/or the disclosure of symptoms by athletes. This is difficult in a fast-paced contact sport (ie, professional rugby league match) because neurological signs may not be witnessed, and/or the athlete may minimise symptoms.

Trips to the following places (from our writers’ experiences at least) are likely to involve warm welcomes, impromptu celebrations, good Samaritans and perhaps even an invitation to a stranger’s wedding. 1.
