a dream in which there is a natty hat
A while ago I came across a whole bunch carved walls of sandstone of various sizes on an area of overgrown land. I couldn't work out what they were but thought they must have been something more than a bunch of rocks and cliffs because they were all carved at right angles which doesn't really happen much in nature.
Yesterday I found out (by being told by someone who actually knew) that they were once part of a water garden belonging to the local manor house which is now part of a safari park and cut off from this piece of land by a bypass road.
At one point there was a bunch of waterfalls and stuff leading into a pond fed by giant sandstone cisterns. I bet it looked pretty neat when it was still active and maintained.
Speaking of maintenance the pond is still there and feeds into a culvert which until yesterday had been lost. It was so overgrown that even the environmental agency didn't know it was there.
Now thanks to some well-meaning locals it has been defoliated and now the pond shouldn't flood so easily. As long as it is maintained regularly.

Hi cardboard,
I really like your weired strips with all the bugs in them. I draw myself cartoons where insects are the main actors. I have even one story with an amobea as the main character (but no moths till now ;-)
Maby you like to upload some of your strips to the platform I programmed together with other cartoonists: www.toonsup.com
We tried do create a site which suites better for comic-artists than normal blogs.
I can guarantee you a lot of feedback and new fans :-)
Yours,
Martin Sander (Made)
