Watching one wild animal when I went to bed and woken up by another at 3.30 a.m.
When I go to bed, I always look out of the windows, as I often see badgers, foxes or muntjacs outside.
On this occasion, I saw a fox from the front of our home, as it made its way along the road, exploring for food on the way.
It’s still warm at night, so we sleep with the bedroom window open and at 3.30 my wife and I were suddenly woken by a noise outside.
Going to the window and looking out, there was a young man racing down the road on a bicycle, shouting as he went.
It sounded like a tribal chant, or maybe some modern music he was rapping along to. I honestly don’t know.
We do live in an incredibly quiet area though and it’s not the sort of thing you would even think you’d see.
I went back to bed with one of my regular thoughts in my mind.
What have we become as a nation.
