I set out on my 32 mile ride this morning and it was really enjoyable. The weather was warm, the wind light and the miles went by easily. I headed up the river valley to Stockland, the sign of which was changed by somebody to Sockland! I stopped for a drink and some young cows came to visit me. Climbing out of Stockland I came across two dead squirrels and another one checking out the situation. They had obviously misjudged crossing the road and had been hit by a car. The survivor decided to cut his loses on seeing me and headed off into the bushes. It reminded me that during the 60-70's adverts appeared on TV for road safety promoting the "Tufty club". Children were shown how to cross the road by a cartoon squirrel. I got to thinking that today on the current evidence they might not be the best role model!!
