Liz plugs the Texas blog and makes a lame football pun

Well, it's almost been a week since Corinna and Jon departed this green and pleasant land for the land of the free. For those of you missing their posts on here, I hope you've been checking out their updates on the expedition blog.


In the meantime, good news is apparently afoot for the rare British red squirrel. Attempts to control the populations of aggressive grey squirrels in Aberdeen and Tayside, Scotland, have allowed the diminutive (the cute specimen in the photo is a baby) to regain lost territory.

The estimated population of reds in Scotland currently stands at 121 000.

Come on you reds!
