.. finally made it back to Latvia after quite an adventure.
The trip started in the UK, where I packed up and closed my Maidstone office, loading the car with everything that still had a use. From there I drove to Hamburg for Domain Stammtisch, caught up with lots of familiar faces, and then continued all the way to Latvia.
Somewhere along the journey I drove straight through Europe's heatwave.
Among all the boxes on the back seat was this filled bird feeder. I completely forgot about it until I started unloading the car in Latvia.
When I picked it up, I genuinely had to do a double take.
The plastic had softened so much in the heat that it had... developed a rather unfortunate shape.
And before anyone asks... yes, I deliberately placed a small hand cream box next to it in the photo. Not because it's related, but simply to give everyone a proper vertical reference. Otherwise I was pretty sure people would think it was just a camera angle or lens distortion.
Now I can't unsee it.
Has the European heatwave melted or deformed anything unexpected for you?
