Not so #silentsunday

We demolished Dad's shed today and got it into the skip. In the process we encountered this abandoned wasp nest which I couldn't help but admire as it is so beautifully constructed.

The first 2 photos are mine, the 3rd is off the Internet just to give some idea of what it would have looked like in situ (I found it on the floor, after we'd pulled the roof down).

"While some buy the nests, others harvest them straight from the source: outside and often very high in tree canopies. There’s only a short window of time to retrieve the nests responsibly. One must wait long enough after the first few frosts to ensure that a nest is empty, but act soon enough so that its paper-thin construction is not damaged by wind, rain or hungry birds."
