Wandering Egyptologist/writer/wildlife gardener. Openly Womble. Likes: conservation, archaeology, the natural world, beautiful words, art, and writing 18th Century fantasy.
After the drought, the flood. Unprecedented survival, no chance in kinder, damper years, ten months' thirst and heat hanging by the wall a Darwinian divide between them and their cosseted one-shot-wonder predecessors. Merry blue faces promising warmer times ahead.
