An expedition to Two Trees Island, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex (2016) September 17, 2016 An expedition to Two Trees Island, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex (2016) ““If diversity is a source of wonder, its opposite - the ubiquitous condensation to some blandly amorphous and singulary generic modern culture that takes for granted an impoverished environment - is a source of dismay.
