Every week, I share something I learned in the previous seven days. I usually find these while I'm putting my weekly newsletter together but somehow, they don't quite fit! 

This week I learned that White Storks are making a comeback to the streets/skies of London. I saw a ton of them in huge nests Marrakech last summer (picture above), but I've never see one in my old hometown!
