It did seem strange to hear trickling water when you don’t think you’re that close to a natural water source!

And a bonus photo for today – as I was walking along the road, I came across this swarm of flies. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the camera to focus on one to be able to identify them, but there were plenty all flying over one particular point in the road. I’ve always wondered what the appeal is of certain areas over others for flies – just one pace further down the road, there were none!
