Meet Albert

[anteros_lmc]

I have a new friend. He appeared in the park beside my house a few weeks ago and daughter immediately christened him Albert, which seems like a fine name for an elephant. Albert is a life sized sculpture of an Indian elephant commissioned as part of the cultural legacy of last year's Commonwealth Games. He stands just outside The House for an Art

That is one handsome elephant! He looks as if he would like a hug I think. And yes, he looks like an Albert.

He's very handsome isn't he? I always say hello and pat his trunk when I pass by :)

He is beautiful and is clearly an Albert.

[anteros_lmc]

He is splendid isn't he? And absolutely Albert! I have no idea why she came up with that name but it suits him perfectly :)

*nods* When we were on holiday we had a red squirrel who visited almost daily to get nuts. He was clearly a Norman. We just knew.

What a wonderful elephant! And the wonderful mist :)

Albert is a magnificent elephant :) We've been having a glorious autumn here. Lots of cool misty mornings and bright sunny days. Almost makes up for having had such a crap summer!

[shepet]

We had here the summer over just yesterday :) Even three days ago, was +25 and people dressed as in summer. And suddenly such a beastly cold, br-r! I want the warm autumn with mist in the morning... *whining*

I am glad that you may have a little more free time-- time enough for you to breathe and remember what you like to do, rather than have to do. It will be good to have you around Following Sea a little more.

I hope so! I can feel myself easing back into life-that-is-not-work. I have been sadly neglecting following_sea of late, I hope to be back aboard soon!

He's wonderful, quite suitable to those woods in the park.

It's good to hear that now your busy life is now a bit settled. Don't work too hard.

I was delighted when I discovered our new neighbour! He is a very benign looking elephant. I enjoy seeing him in the park every morning :)
