It is of course compulsory for it to be cool and cloudy on a Bank Holiday weekend. And so it was for much of the time. I worked and was released early enough for it to be of benefit. We gathered our thoughts and possessions and drove to Wroughton to stay with my aunt. She is a young and apparently unstoppable 71. There were some bright patches on our way on the rather pleasant non-motorway route but more gloom when we arrived.
We went to Blooms Garden Centre which has butterflies and animals and presented many photographic opportunities. Some of the photography was unexpectedly challenging because of the constant movements of the animals. Do you have any idea how much meerkats move around? They will not stay still even if you ask and all that digging is I think rather OCDish. A heavy shower interrupted viewing and feeding but did not perturb the otters who, presumably, are used to being wet. I was very pleased but the pleasure did not end there. My aunt took us to the Swindon part of the Wilts & Berks canal and on to Old Wroughton. The late afternoon and evening weather had become bright and beautiful and photography was again inviting. It was a great trip out.
