Ten thirty on a damp Wednesday morning. The Horniman Museum was just opening its doors as William and I arrived, and we stomped downstairs to the aquarium.
We were the first arrivals. Here’s William, wholly absorbed in fish, frog and butterfly hunting. This peaceful moment didn’t last long. Within minutes one, two, then three parties of Reception age school children stormed noisily in. The fish continued their solitary swishing round their watery home.

You can feel his absorption even without seeing him full face – lovely!

It was lovely to observe his 100% concentration. But the little so and so has given me his diarrhoea bug. Not happy.

Your photograph could be the front cover for Montessori’s ‘The Absorbent Mind’ – photographic evidence of her acute observations. And, of course, get well soon.
