Readers of the National Geographic Magazine may have noticed a brief article this month called The Glory of Leaves. Wilson enjoyed this item because it related to the world immediately around him rather than somewhere far-away and exotic, and now he has decided to make a leaf collection for himself.
This seems to me a ideal hobby for W; it will get him out into the countryside, he will enjoy the fresh air, it will be good exercise for him and it will distract him from thoughts and doubts about 'Reality'. Moreover, Autumn is the ideal time of year to start a leaf collection.
He has pulled on his new boots and gone off to the local woods on a leaf hunt. I'll pop out later and buy him a scrapbook to stick them in and a tube of glue.
