This page detail from my artists’ book A meeting of Parrots that shouldn’t seems a nice send off for The Fox and the Hare. This Monday you have a pandemonium of parrots here in this post and throughout my new blog layout.
Sadly, The Fox and the Hare takes with it to its resting place a desire unfulfilled. A mute of hounds, a leap of leopards, a raft of otter, a memory of elephants, a flight of cormorants, a charm of finches, a bazaar of guillemots, a cohort of zebras, a flotilla of swordfish, a blush of boys, a troupe of artistes, a faculty of academics, a mess of iguanas, and an anthology of stories all never here to be discovered.
(Extract from The Fox and the Hare obituary. Feel free to head across to wave farewell.)
Never fear it’s not all sad news, here and High Up in the Trees there is new life, in the form of a sparkling new look.
