4 years ago today....
And just like that, I retired. My last show at Wentworth Festival.
The sun on my face. The audience chanting my name, and from the stage I could see this 🏳️‍🌈 flag.
The perfect way to say goodbye.

They are Alpine newts. Happy and safe, their very well maintained habit, and well looked after by my zoology student daughter and her herpetologist boyfriend ❤️

We are avoiding watching the news for the next 48 hours.
Instead, here are my daughter's newts, Chunk & Wedge.

The only orange skinned creatures I care to look at right now 🧡🧡
