And there are exquisite, understated moments of joy and sadness. Watch the scene in the second season in which Terry's wife Sheila (Sophie Thompson) – a woman with a very literal interpretation of the adage that when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade – is sympathising with Lance over his difficulties with his daughter. Thompson's brilliant performance makes plain that Sheila has known devastating loss, although it is never specifically mentioned and we never know what it is. "It is my favourite scene in all that I've done," says Crook. The fact that Sheila is usually such a comedic character makes it all the more poignant and piercing.

There, in the background of another scene – blink and you'll miss it – is Varde on one knee, proposing to Louise with a ring she's just found. You can actually buy Louise and Varde tote bags, T-shirts, duvet covers. You can buy DMDC (Danebury Metal Detecting Club) T-shirts, T-shirts bearing a Detectorists' guide to ring-pulls. There is even a fanzine Waiting For You, named after a lyric from the haunting theme song by Johnny Flynn. There have been three issues so far and a fourth is due.

In the longer term, the world could start to see more widespread decarbonisation of aviation through alternative renewable fuels (or even electric planes over short distances), opening up more opportunities for low-carbon travel. Until the time when these kinds of options exist and are affordable, however, the question of offsets is likely to remain.

Offsetting means paying for an external project to reduce or sometimes absorb the emissions a country, organisation or person is emitting. But some argue in many cases they simply don’t work as intended, as, for example, it can be hard to ensure a forest stays standing or be sure a renewable power plant would not have been built even without the investment. Environmentalists are therefore concerned offsets can act as a “dangerous distraction” from what’s really needed – cutting emissions.

As we rumbled across fragile bridges, I glanced down at teal bodies of water flowing beneath the tracks while other passengers scanned the forests for grizzlies and black bears. Just as we passed Kwinitsa station, I spied a small black bear bounding away from the tracks and realised that what was becoming one of the greatest journeys of my life is just a regular commute for another.

Towards mid-afternoon, the eponymous Skeena River emerged from the north and stayed tight to the train, cheering it on to the finish line. Taking its name from the indigenous Gitxsan band, meaning "river of mists", the Skeena River thrashed through canyons and passed through mountains before it finally peeled away from the train and poured into the Pacific Ocean, leaving us to journey into Prince Rupert alone.

Subterranean vibrations can also be key for what appear to be intended signals. Mole rats, living in underground burrows, are thought to communicate with other mole rats in the vicinity by banging their heads or feet against the walls of their tunnels. Leafcutter ants have been observed to create noises when they get buried during nest cave-ins. Other worker ants rush to the spot and start to dig to rescue their nestmate.

Some of these underground sounds are audible to the human ear, but many are too high or too low in frequency (as well as in volume). To capture these, researchers use tools like piezoelectric sensors, which work like the contact microphones you might clip onto a guitar. Attached to a nail, sometimes up to 30cm (11.8 inches) long, that has been pushed into the ground, these sensors detect vibrations that researchers then convert into electronic signals and amplify until humans can hear them.

Arguably, the Soft Black Girl phenomenon is a backlash against the persistent "strong black woman" trope in our culture, which, alongside the "girl boss" ideal, can feel like a burden, continuously demanding our energy, whether at work or in relationships with others. The 'Soft Life' offers us an alternative, and makes it okay to expend energy on ourselves instead. As black women, we're rarely given the opportunity to imagine and dream a life for ourselves on our own terms. Yet with more than 400 million TikTok videos brandishing the hashtag – declaring aphorisms such as "Slow living tip: adopt the mindset that you deserve rest" and "Welcome to Black Woman Bare Minimum, a safe space where you can do the least, and be the most" – this unlikely corner of the internet offers us a template to do so. As we're inundated with visions of slow, intentional, purposeful living, we see that a soft life is as diverse and nuanced as black women are ourselves.

Softness as resistance also informs the work of Nadine Ijewere, an award winning south-east London-born fashion photographer who was the first woman of colour to shoot the cover of any Vogue edition. Informed by her own Nigerian-Jamaican identity, Ijewere's work showcases a new standard of beauty, and aims to give life to the uniqueness of disparate cultures. It is currently exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery as part of The New Black Vanguard exhibition. Works such as Joy as an Act of Resistance – a joyous smile amidst an explosion of orange tulle – or images from her recent Nina Ricci campaign – four black women, dr**ed in pastel, resting on each other's strength – capture softness in action.

Michaela Coel's 2020 HBO/BBC series I May Destroy You – a semi-autobiographical account of a woman trying to solve the puzzle of her r**e while navigating a publishing industry not designed for people of her race or class to feel supported – was a striking exception. Among other things, it provided complex representation of both a black female and q***r experience of assault to which people from any background could viscerally relate. Li calls it the "gold standard" of these types of stories, where the victim doesn’t have to be perfect. "Arabella makes all these bad decisions, which I've always felt is more representative of being in a traumatic state," the author says. "If you've been through that kind of trauma, you're going to have that struggle to want to tell your own story on your own terms. I felt it was much more authentic."

In addition, the emergence of new mutated versions of the Covid-19 virus over the past year, such as the Delta and now the Omicron variants, has created a potential requirement for different technologies which might be able to provide a more robust and widespread immune response.

"We have some data that your immune system's response to natural infection, but also to vaccination, wanes over time," says Andrew Ustianowski, clinical lead for the UK's National Institute for Health Research Covid Vaccine Research Programme. "We can see the antibody responses, and to a degree, the T cell responses dropping over time. So, one of the hopes for second generation vaccines is that they can give us protection for a longer period than these first vaccines."

Many of the children's families live in day-to-day survival mode and some have never seen the ocean before. Here, though, they see curious schools of fish zooming around and alien-like creatures hiding between rocks in a wonderland of swirling green and brown seaweed forests. Sunrays hit the red, algae-covered seabed and form dancing rainbows, reflected in the bubbles released by seaweed. Above the water, the mountains of New Zealand’s South Island stand tall in the distance.

"You'll find crayfish, big blue moki, camouflaged critters, colourful anemones and octopuses," says Nicole Miller, chair of Friends of the Taputeranga Marine Reserve Charitable Trust. "It's special to see abundant marine life up close. To be able to put on a mask and snorkel, and experience the biodiversity beneath the surface, is a life-changing experience for them."

It's no surprise, given the poetry that rises unbidden from her at the mere mention of her wares, that Nathalie has a certain talent for conveying her love of cheese to clients. It is indeed this task to which the natural extrovert is most often dedicated. She spends most of her time at the flagship shop, where an astounding variety of up to 200 cheeses may be on offer at any given time.

Today, she and Maxime run the family's five shops, which are dotted throughout Paris and the near suburbs. Like their parents and grandparents before them, they divide tasks according to age-old gender lines, albeit by circumstance rather than in adherence to these unspoken rules.

Most of the world's population is clustered between the 25-26th north parallels which has traditionally been the latitude of most comfortable climate and fertile land. An estimated 279 million people are packed into this thin band of land, which cuts through countries including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, the United States and Mexico.

But the conditions here are changing. On average, climate niches – the range of conditions at which species can normally exist – around the world are moving polewards at a pace of 1.15m (3.8ft) per day, although it's far faster in some places. Adapting to the changing climate will mean chasing our own shifting niche – which for much of human history has been within the temperature range -11C to 15C (12F to 59F) – as it migrates north from the equator. True livability limits are the borders we must worry about as the world warms over this century, bringing unbearable heat, drought, floods, fires, storms, and coastal erosion that make agriculture impossible and displace people.

Such poignant personalisation is part of a cultural foundation we all share. The tradition of floriography has always been there, but these days is a shadow of its former self – many know that a bouquet of roses symbolises romance, for example, but few know why. We might not perceive certain stems as positive or negative as the Victorians did, but we do still know that certain blooms better suit certain occasions. An understanding of flowers' meanings, however, can help us progress from the simplicity of sending a bouquet based on only its beauty to tapping into a deeper and more nuanced emotional intimacy.
