There are a great many baby elephants in Norwich at the moment. One by one on the website link there, they don’t look anything like as good as they do on location. I might take the camera out later. Meanwhile here is one where new meets old from the Berlin trip. I am also waiting for a picture of a many-times-mended-and-nailed-back- together gate that I’ve been told about; it’s due to arrive from India. I’m so happy when I’ve finished a book; I can devote time to what I really want to do with my life: mess about. The Protestant Work Ethic will insinuate itself soon enough, though; I’ll be dusting my desk, ironing shirts, and fixing a plug later on.
