Anna Edmondson: I think yes – everybody loves rainbows. And they may see them reflected in puddles…
And Simon Heath
Sometimes answering the little questions can be as fun as answering the big ones. It’s all about perspective.
For anybody who is curious – I’ll show my daughter the picture and tell her they love the reflections.
