16 August 2020 — I am delighted to say: I was wrong.
And you are going to enjoy this correction as much as I enjoy posting it.
Last image of my Hallelujah! post, I showed you charming otters painted on a utility box — but expressed serious doubts that they hold hands in the water, as claimed in the accompanying text.
Well.
I have been very gently, but very promptly, set right by both a dear relation over in England and a dear friend right here, the one who was my companion on that walk. She included with her email a YouTube link, with proof.
While I’m making amends, let me give belated credit to the creators of that utility-box magic, both images and text.
For all that’s dark and threatening, these pandemic days, there is also this: otters hold hands as they rock gently in the waves.
