No really.
It's important to have a bit of variety from a design point of view, and good to get a pachyderm into the design language. So, as part of the finishing process of the lakeside house we have just completed in Geneva we had to position Mr Stripe ( above, er, centre ) in his rightful place on the terrace. Mr Fraser lent his weight from behind although Mr Rowell, in an unnecessarily vetinarary moment, thinks Allan was helping to deliver an elephant calf.
We are grateful to Elephant Family ( http://www.elephantfamily.org/ ) for their elephant procurement services and I'm sure any support for them would be gratefully received.
Mr Fraser has been off work this week with an implausible doctor's note.
