Much warmer weather this morning seemed to bring out the wildlife. I saw lots of baby rabbits, 8 aberdeen angus in the middle of the road minding their own business, an angry stray dog, a cat with a death wish, a fox with a mouthful of road kill and my first Hen Harrier (plus the usual pheasants and deer).
Whereabouts is this just in case I head that way in the next few weeks?

I coasted through a rural 4 way stop looked up to see a police car. He did not pull me over, then he did not perform a proper stop himself. This four way stop is kind of stupid, 5 miles from the city and you can clearly see a good mile in each direction. But technically we both were in the wrong I will think twice the next time.

In between here and there
We must pass each other occasionally with me heading South from Purley, my times range from 6.20 to 7.20am, at Hooley. Can't miss me at the moment mostly with a white Castelli waterproof jacket and shorts on a Red/Black/White Cannondale. Most northbounders I get a nod from in Morning.

Hambrook lights. Central Island is closed off, have to cross the road further down, and single file for a bit towards the motorway. I'll look properly tomorrow.

I saw a very suspicious ambulance emerging from Slaugham Manor a property owned and operated by Sussex Police. Suspicious because whilst it was a fairly standard looking ambulance vehicle resplendent in lemon curd and marmalade it had none of the other markings associated any of our local NHS Ambulance Services, was far older than any they operate locally, and was being driven by a man in a blue police style coverall like what policeman-brother-in-law sometimes wears only with no insignia not a green paramedic style one like what paramedic-brother-in-law wears.
The local plod wouldn't operate a fake ambulance undercover would they?

It could be they are having problems with Paramedics and ambulances being attacked, they might be planning to give the local yobs a surprise, the decoy vehicle has probably got a squad of coppers in the back.

Hooray..incident free ride home!
Should that even be a "thing"? Probably not but seems that way.
Stopped and picked up Salt & Chilli Pepper Tofu from the nice GMO-free no-MSG Chinese, and a nice bottle of Jennings Cumberland to celebrate!

So not all that bad

Back on the commute tomorrow after 8 working days off work for Easter. New rear tyre fitted after getting ripped on a big pothole.

Once again, the forecast rain didn't make an appearance, my luck is going to run out soon!

Great theory. I like it. On the other hand it seems unlikely in the splendour of rural sussex!

In the west midlands it can be a problem sometimes, the fire brigade is sometimes a target as well, local yobs start a fire the firemen get called out to put it out and find themselves under missile attack.
