middle of the road and eyeballed me early one morning whilst his harem of
six does crossed safely. It reminded me of the racehorse trainers stopping
the traffic in Newmarket whilst his trainees cross behind him.

What a fabulous sight and why does nature have to be so *difficult*? ;-)

Agreed, a wonderful sight - but it is us that are difficult, not nature.
We keep wanting to use the space they need for other things, roads,
homes, gardens, removing their natural habitat. It is a difficult
situation and such a pity we are unable to run our lives in a manner
that does not compete with theirs. This is in no way a criticism of
those trying to earn a living from the land.

I suppose we're part of nature, too and deserve our own habitat therefore.
But what seems to me to be important is to teach children how to live *with*
what is around them rather than in spite of it. As top of the food chain I
think it rather depends on us to do that.
