God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

It's the first edition after the Second World War, as well as being the first edition after the move back to Camberwell after spending five years at Itchingfield. A fascinating insight into the School during a time of great change.
Thanks to Ian Prodrick, nephew of Harry Prodrick, OW, for sending this to us.

We're starting to see a change in our weather patterns with more clouds and temperatures in the 80s (which is a nice respite from 100 or higher). A very weak rain storm came over last night and dropped all of seven small rain drops on our property (or perhaps a few more...).
A lot of the oak trees around here are starting to drop their leaves (and these are the deciduous ones) meaning they're running out of water and are going into survival mode...

Studies show that trees reduce the amount of solar radiation absorbed by asphalt and concrete. This means that the pavement stores less heat, ultimately bringing down the air temperature by as much as 1 degree Celsius.
And the impact of one tree can be felt up to a few hundred meters around it.
That's why many experts believe that urban trees are important in addressing the impacts of climate change. One study found that urban trees reduce the number of heat-stress related deaths across the U.S. At a time when the world is experiencing record-breaking heat, the need for trees is especially apparent.
Trees can also reduce the need for ACs when they are near houses and apartments. Which can be good, because while ACs can cool down the indoor temperature, they can increase outdoor temperatures by 2.4 degrees Celsius.
The problem is, more than 75% of people in U.S. cities live in neighbourhoods with less than 20% tree cover.
