2.0 Day 46 - Goodbye Cecil

Last year I made a blog post about the Black Western Rhino becoming extinct.
Humans really are horrible.

If you don't know about the unnecessary, long, slow and painful death of Cecil the Lion, you can read about it here. Warning: It's not pleasant reading.

This was my view for the afternoon!

The amazing Elephant costume made for me by Strange Cargo Arts who organise the annual Folkestone Charivari Parade:

 The drummers were The Dhol Foundation. They were amazing and lead the parade for 2 hours before going straight on stage to do a set, with no break! (photo by Ian D. Johnstone)

 Check them out on Spotify or use the above link to their website. Their leader Johnny posted this video (use link) of their drumming, my (tired) dancing and the sea view.
