Bits and Pieces

Mr Pugh was unloading his shopping yesterday, and his car got clipped by the Co-op lorry as it came round the corner from the bridge. "I was only there five minutes," he said. "There's things coming round all the time these days."

The Wicker Man has moved to the meadow by the river, and a marquee has been put up next to him.

Coming up Ship Pitch, I found some sort of hawk moth sitting on the pavement. It had obviously come out of its cocoon very recently, and was sitting with its wings unfurling. I moved it to Karl Showler's garden wall, where it was safer.
