Do you ever see wild animals?

…..anytime I see a wild animal nowadays, it is a dead wild animal, lying squished on the side of a motorway or even just a local road.

Once, though, I saw what I think was a capybara in a field of corn as we were driving home from a holiday. Another time I saw a badger walking along a country road, quite late at night. Also, I saw a hedgehog crossing the road as I drove Veronica home from an evening out. I stopped and waited for it to cross safely, then drove on.

A man whose name I have forgotten was riding his bike on Broadwater Road in West Malling when, looking to his right, he saw a lion!

It turned out to be Miss Martin’s Irish wolfhound.

About Candy

I have reached the grand old age of 82 now. Until the mid 90’s I was a teacher, then a dealer in antiques and collectables which I loved! When I retired to the seaside I started a website selling antique and vintage games and wooden jigsaw puzzles. Now, I'm spending my time blogging and making oil paintings as well as looking after my very spoiled dog, Lola.

  1. Luckily I do see lots of wild animals. But rarely in the UK!

      I thought of you when I was writing! And , as much as I would like to see an elephant or an ape, I have no desire to get on a plane or even be driven in a car, to places where I might see exotic wild animals. Truly, seeing them on a tv screen is good enough for me! (But I do envy your working with wild animals!)
