Election night in London

I made some people envious today because my school was used for a polling station so I had most of the day off. I won’t write about the elections but I’ve included a recent photograph of some newts in my pond. They’ve been particularly active recently and given lots of pleasure by making themselves visible at the surface. At least 4 individuals have been counted in my small pond, so there are probably quite a few more altogether. At the same time there were some spectacular damselflies – photos to follow shortly.
