It&rsquo;s been open to the public since it was acquired by English Heritage in 1998. I&rsquo;ve been a biologist of sorts for about 18 years.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s taken me until <em>today</em> to actually <a href="http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/home-of-charles-darwin-down-house/" title="Down House at English Heritage">visit Down House</a>, and to wander down the famous sandwalk behind the house, where Darwin used to do his thinking. I am a very bad, and very lazy boy. Also a very lucky one to have a husband prepared to schlepp to <a href="https://polypompholyx.github.io/2013/04/organism-of-the-week-11/" title="Organism of the week #11 – Not even primitive">yet <em>another</em> greenhouse</a>.</p>
