Rabbits can be daft on roads. There is a long narrow country road to the beach where we had a static caravan and on more than one occasion going there at night there would be a rabbit just standing looking at your headlights. If you went forward slowly the rabbit would run. Not off to the side but straight down the road. On more than one occasion that happend and went on for probably a quarter mile or more.

I've never come across young pheasants but an adult at the side of the road is just as likely to trot across in front of the car as it is to retreat into the hedgerow.

Ay?    I assume you mean 'deliver'?

Have a look at their website Muddy.  They don't just do food,  they do household things, pet food, toiletries,
cleaning stuff . . .  all sorts.

I use supermarket trips as exercise. Too close to be good for the car and short enough use by times to make a couple of visits a week pretty much essential. I do go in the car occasionally to stock up on stuff that can be frozen or keeps naturally but in the main it's two or three one bag trips on foot each week. I really can't be bothered with online food shopping.

Just driving back home at about 19.00 and there were some 30 poults on the road ( a country road ) I had to get out and try to chase them off poor things while my husband drove the car very slowly they just didn't know where to go .
I felt like the man who used to walk in front of cars with a red flag .

30 degrees forecast for Wednesday, the hottest day.  My son and family came back from Spain yesterday, they were so happy to have an air conditioned villa, it was absolutely scorching 🥵

Quote from: Scrumpy on July 26, 2026, 09:07:52 AMIt seems to be the popular thing to do now..
Wherever there is a gathering.. event ..or celebration there is the probability of some nutter driving into the crowd.. Usually because it is something their  beliefs.. religion does not agree with..
  The latest being Berlin Pride..

I heard part of this on the news today, Scrumps,  and I agree with you, it does seem a popular way of killing now.
I suppose its an easy way to harm a large number of people all in one go,  and then drive off.
Frightening stuff ey.
