My parents are nature lovers. I am not particularly.
I cannot count the times when my Mother has hollered at me to “come quickly” and when I run out, expecting someone to be bleeding profusely or something good on telly, all I find is a bird. A bird (usually a colourful bird of some description.. a parrot or similar) eating from the bird feeder. Woop-de-fricking-doo.
But today I saw something that made me smile and automatically brightened my otherwise dreary and tiresome day (a day spoiled at 7am by a co-worker bitching about me.. but that is another story). I was stopped at the traffic lights to see a Mummy and Daddy duck escorting a row of baby ducklings across dual carriageway.
It was very scary to see cars speeding towards them on the opposite side of the row. But the valiant family of ducks made it safely across the road. And I ended my day with a smile.
