Love the seaside, on my way there to swap a trailer I had to drop some goods in this farm complex. Went past the turning and it looked mighty tight so decided to go past it and stop to ask for alternative (if possible) route. Couldn’t find a single lay-by, and to add to the road layout someone designed it with close islands which were off centre and had sloping entrance and exit points. Bloody great design this. Got round and drove into this road thinking that a ‘stuck’ scenario will be appearing anytime soon but no, the road opened up nicely. On the way to swapping the trailer the local Police kindly blocked off the road that I needed to turn on to, why, because a tanker had slid of the road and there was loads of flashing lights to help him on his way.

On the way home I saw an old ‘friend’ on the hard shoulder. The pheasant that I spotted a few weeks ago or possibly one of his relations. He was happily walking on the hard shoulder oblivious to everything except the important act of finding food. Brave bird.
