What I don’t tell him is that we were on holiday, in Italy. That one of my children had been very sick. That it was early spring, Easter time, and my job that week, as the mum, was to get the family back on track, to show them that we were going to have a great time, despite illness and stress and dashes to hospital. I wasn’t exactly wearing a jester’s hat, but I might as well have been. I had an assignment from a newspaper to write about a garden of stone monsters, built by a grieving duke for his dead wife. Monsters or no monsters, we were going to enjoy ourselves: I would make sure of it.

“Crowds remained about the streets until late at night. “While the sirens were sounding yesterday morning, crews of ships and tugs brought out all their flags from their lockers, and by the time the first joy-riders in the home-made peace procession were skirting the dockside for variety in their celebrations, the ships looked gay and their flags gave an answering wave to gesticulating figures beyond the railway gates.

African elephants are well-known to love bathing, spraying and mud wallowing. These behaviours are not just for fun. Indeed, African elephants lack the sweat and sebum glands that allow many other mammals to keep their skin moist and flexible. Furthermore, because of their huge body size and their warm and dry habitat, African elephants can avoid overheating only via evaporation of the water they collect in and on their skin. By covering themselves with mud, African elephants also avoid the attacks of relentless parasites and the excessive exposure of their skin to solar radiation. Very close inspection of African elephant skin indicates that, in addition to its characteristic wrinkling, the integument is deeply sculpted by an intricate network of interconnected, minuscule crevices. This fine pattern of millions of channels prevents shedding of applied mud and allows spreading and retention of five to 10 times more water than a flat surface.
