A hidden
gem, In a land of gemstones.

Up the winding
track Away from its more illustrious
sister, Where people sit and picnic and play.

A quiet
gem, Nature’s reward for our curiosity and effort.

What will we leave of this
beauty, To our children and their children?

Will we past the
test, By leaving a beautiful, living world behind?

Or will we fail and leave them
nothing But another Venus?

Peter is a teacher, writer and historian who has also been active in human rights work for 35 years. He is particularly interested in how our great human rights history in the North East can help us to be both inspired and enlightened and enable us to face up to the challenges we face today. These challenges include defending the human rights of all people in the region and the country and dealing with the existential crisis that is climate change.
