Again back to the Highlands, a fine cold morning and a welcome run along the forestry track.
As the eyes of the West watch anxiously the operatic tribulations and dramas within the Eurozone, and as the global population passes 7 billion, the Independent is carrying a small report about daily life in Burkina Faso. In common with many sub-Saharan African countries, the population growth is outstripping their natural resources, forests are being decimated for use as fuel for cooking, and consequentially the land eroded and made even less productive, sketching out a future of famine, disease, and war. All of which is a timely reminder of the relativity of problems.
