Then I saw what this gentle giant was trying to do.
There was a tiny, fluffy baby duckling in total panic running round and round in the road, totally lost and separated from it's family. Wee dot of a thing, so cute, couldn't have been more than about 3" high.

It was running blind in all directions panicking, but the man pursued it and eventually caught it in his huge hands and I just saw the little eyes and bill popping over his fingers as he gently held it. He went across the road and put it in a front garden where I believe he'd seen 'Mum' go.

That really, really pleased me that this person didn't just keep driving and let it take it's chances on that roundabout.
What a kind man.
So different to the moron behind me who was scowling and tooting us to get out of his way.

So glad he cared, that really made my day seeing that rescue.

When did you last see a kindness that made your day?


I think it's out of order, how can he take the law into his own hands, stop the flow of traffic, it's quackers, he should learn to follow mummy duck closely, stay safe, stay alert.

hahahahaha, that made me laugh as it reminded me of when we lived in Spain and some friends came over to visit.

Walking down the street my friend spotted what she thought was a lizard and when she got up to it it was dried chit hahaha,so, so funny. Thanks for the laugh Muds x
