Uplifting walk into the low winter sun this morning. Dazzling reflections the full length of the long water on the Regents Canal into the Observer office in Kings Cross. Almost spiritual, like Eliasson at the Tate.
Enhancing my pleasure, the small splashes of guerilla gardening by the inhabitants of one of the narrow boats: with lots of daisies, cooking herbs and cabbages. Another of the boats is offering 'faerie tail' readings? I have sometimes wondered about stopping off in the morning or popping in later for afternoon tea with 'tails'.
Another heartwarming
pleasure comes from the sight of the large, still-fluffy cignet, born to last year's spinster swan whose mate flew away when their eggs failed to hatch. For a while she swam solo, circling her abandoned nest, even when he later returned with another female. This year, though she finally has her baby and another male, and it makes me oddly happy.
So, any good guerilla gardening near you? What is making you happy this sunny cold weekend? And any plans for gardening in the snow?
