Unusual things to come upon.

I once had a rather surreal experience. I was stopped at a traffic light and there was a man stopped next to me in a gorgeous old style Chevrolet which had left hand drive. He had what I thought was a black and white fur collar but when it moved I saw it was a fluffy cat.

Sitting on a quiet beach in south Devon with my partner, a couple appeared in the distance and walked straight toward us. It didn't take us long to realise they were stark naked. It's difficult while conversing to keep your eyes off their bits. .

On a happier note, a friend stayed in a hotel where unbeknown to her, an Elvis convention was going on, so umpteen looky likies dressed in his best known outfits, such as the well known Las Vegas rhinestone encrusted white one. Friend who referred to them collectively as "The Elvi" spent most of breakfast time straining ears to hear one or any say the famous "thank you very much" Elvis style

Coming back from a late night event turned a corner and ahead were 3 horses galloping down the road (not a main road) nevertheless not what you expect, we weren't in The New Forest or similar where ponies roam free.

Some years ago in Italy around Pisa, evening time it was dark, saw a number of young black women by the side of the road. No doubt trafficked and forced to do what they were doing made me feel both angry and sad.

Not me but my husband. Many years ago one early Sunday morning he was driving our young son to an away football match and cycling in the other direction was Batman on a bike. He presumed he was either rolling home from a stag do or fancy dress party. Or on his way to a Fathers for Justice rally. To this day whenever we drive down the same road my husband always says, " I will never forget the day I saw Batman cycling along this road."

When I was a student half a century ago, we were rowing up the River Dee in Chester and a couple were naked on the opposite bank up to a bit of hanky panky. A launch carrying scouts sped past and all the kids shouted 'Woah' at the couple and started waving like mad. Never forgot that.

It took a bit of effort

Well done

That's a wonderful picture kitty. My husband was out walking one day. We are in Birmingham. He was walking past some parkland and going up a hill when over the hill appeared a horse ridden by a man in full cowboy gear. 🤠

We were staying at a hotel in Malta years ago. Staying at the same hotel was a man who wore Native American dress, including full headdress.

I'm sure he had Midlands accent 😀

I wonder too. Anybody know?

I think there is “something in the breeds” they are definitely more bolshie! I wonder what the statistics are…

Years ago, in the late 60s, I noticed a huge cow grazing happily at the top of our sloping garden. The garden was opposite a field of cows and one of them had obviously made a bid for freedom. With a 10 month old baby, I was in no position to do anything myself, so I phoned the police. A very young policeman arrived, took a look at the cow and was clearly very shocked. He made no attempt to move the cow, just got paler and paler. In the end, I thrust the baby into his arms and moved the cow myself! Luckily, I had spent childhood holidays with grandparents in the country so I wasn’t phased by a cow!
I understand now that cows are aggressive, but in those days I remember them being calm and gentle. In fact, the fastest way down to the village was through a field of cows and people walked there all the time, even young children heading for the playground. What changed, I wonder?

My DIL went into her kitchen one day to find 3 very young ducklings nestling by the Aga. The family put them in a bath to enclose them with a standard lamp above them to keep them warm. They managed to raise 2 of the 3 and eventually released them onto the village pond.
When travelling through rural France I glanced over the hedge and in the distance I saw a man, presumably the farmer, being chased around the outside of a barn by a big Charolais. I often wonder if he managed to get away.

Beautiful Kitty

Lovely stories to read xx

How lovely VV

Many years ago my dad woke from his nap to say "a horse has just walked up our drive" we lived at the end of a cul de sac so no passing traffic. We all thought he was dreaming, But went for a look anyway. And there on the back lawn was this amazing animal, grazing quietly. Several minutes passed whilst we wondered who to call? Until a young dishevelled girl turned up looking for her horse , it had thrown her off and come visiting. We were glad she was alright just a bit bruised and sorry to see our guest leave.

That photo would make for a wonderful image on a tin of Christmas biccies Kittylester 😺

That’s absolutely magnificent kittylester. What an amazing and wonderful stag and what a sight to see in the road.

All this talk of Bambis reminded me of this - just strolling down the road near our house.

Many years ago I was walking my young Belgian Shepherd in the forest It was late afternoon in November. She bounded off to what looked like an enormous Labrador. Then it moved and I realised it was a man with no clothes on crouching down. I called her back and he held his hand up and shouted thank you

twinlolly You really took all your clothes off to move a branch from the road?? Of course you did

Saw 2 workers on top of a roof. One laying over the top holding his mate by the ankles who was laying on his stomach face down trying to attach some pipework more than half way down the roof. I waved for a laugh and the guy at the top let go of one of his work mate's legs to wave back. No elf n safety there 😅
