Swan’s black
On the way home from listening to Yasmin Alibhai-Brown talk about her book, the Settlers Cookbook, I glanced over the bridge and there, floating around was a swan. A black swan. This is becoming a bit of a theme I know but I was completely struck by this gorgeous creature looking so exotic and almost unreal. If I’d been on my own I would have wondered at my memory afterwards but I had witnesses and I have a photograph – in fact several photographs but most of them aren’t any good. I’m beginning to wonder if I have the start of a short story.
