Perhaps being able to use the treadmill I bought earlier this year might be a contributory factor - but, for whatever reason, I have to admit that I'm not getting out-and-about as much as I used to - and, certainly, not as much as I ought. So, having being reminded of the fact (after reading the previous blog in this section), in a conscious effort to address the matter, I went out for a walk this afternoon and, anxious not to 'overtax' myself, I decided to stay away from the 'off-road' stuff and kept to the tarmacadamed surfaces and, in so doing, I came across this interesting sight....
Evidently, a high-sided vehicle had come in contact with what may possibly have been a overhanging branch. Whether the branch was overhanging, or not, it had been damaged to such an extent that it was now hanging down towards the road surface. Nearby, leaning against a telegraph pole, was a section of a commercial vehicle and it would seem that that the driver was unaware of the damage he had caused. Why else would he leave such a large piece of his vehicle behind?
Anyway, based on the behaviour of the average white van driver, I suspect he may have been travelling too quickly to have noticed. In any event, I hope his neglect didn't go without being recognised and punished.
