News from the nursery: a great-grandchild of the Empress which left me eggs in May 2014 has emerged at a neighbouring family's house where some of last year's caterpillars found an adoptive home. And a narrowboat-dwelling neighbour is going great guns with Silk Moths - Bombyx mori she says - which live on a curious dark green mush-concentrate and may one day provide the whole of Thrupp with silk pyjamas, hankies or possibly just floss.
