Spring '21 Hopes Rise

£1,250.00

This wreath covers stories from April - June 2021 — “Big stories and little stories are given equal weight in this piece: the G7 summit held in Cornwall, the record heat in June. A whale completes a colossal journey across half-the world, another swallows a fisherman in Cape Cod. A season of firsts: Chloe Zhao becomes the first woman of colour to win a directing Oscar for Nomadland, Britain’s first black billionaire, the first monkey and human embryo. With spring, comes light, both real and metaphorical: a giant blinking star in the heart of the Milky Way, the increase in UFO spottings over lockdown, and the “caterpillar cakes wars” heat up as copyright issues pit M&S’s Colin against Aldi’s Cuthbert.”

See below for the full list of stories.
