But all is not lost. As I walked in today, this Andy Goldsworthy-esk piece of natural artwork had developed in one of the rainwater ponds adjacent to the Catholic Cathedral in Bristol. I love it and yet again nature surprises me in the most unexpected places.
Speaking of unexpected things, a fellow blogger Sian, has posted on her blog "Life on a Small Island" a link to another blog where waxwings spent some time in the garden and the resulting photographs are absolutely stunning. See the photos here....!
And finally, my first programme in the current run of Radio 4's Living Worlds went out yesterday - there is still time to listen to it on the BBC i-Player. Click the link here.
