WildCam in the trees, rain in the sky...

...today was a good day. I just spent a good 15 - 20 minutes in the hedge, half way up a tree in the rain. So I'm in a good mood (not sarcastically, genuinely). I was fixing WildCam to his new perch facing into the lane where deer often walk through, whilst trying not to be spotted by any neighbours, mostly because i feared having to attempt socialisation but also because I was in a hedge, looking shifty, wearing a hoody...here, that's usually three boxes checked for criminal activity. A town person has come to steal our lawn mower! Humphrey call the police! I'll fetch the pitchfork, and send the children to cower in fear in the attic! Well it's not quite that bad but you get my meaning.

And note how I said pitchfork and not gun. Very few people have a gun here, even in the countryside. Not like the US were toddlers can wonder round with Ak47s (so the legend goes), which is why our gun crime rate is so much lower, pitchfork crime rate however...

Labyrinth: Later when it gets a bit darker I'll go and throw some raisins....
The man: ...at people

I don't know why that was so bloody funny, but it just was. We also had a visit from the mans brother today (who insistently, is one of only 5 people I do talk to relatively comfortably), who's really in it up to his neck at the moment, but that's a story for another time.
