Day two began with a tour of the universe, again with Dr Maggie. I should mention that she has been awarded an MBE by the Queen but – I’m sure you will agree – the fact she has a Blue Peter badge is much more impressive! Her talk involved building a rocket from baking powder and vinegar, a great Blue Peter make!

Sundays are always good for a walk and that’s what I did. I joined a field trip to the RHS Wisley Gardens with the objective of finding out more about how climate change will affect the English gardens. Well, “will” does not seem to be the appropriate tense for the verb since, according to a gardening expert who was with us, it is already happening.
