Bev asked us bears to put out the word that wildlife should avoid her car, so that she can get to and from work without any more obstacles. Ok, so we have done that, but she faced a new obstacle this morning - dense fog! She gets up at dark o'clock, and when she got out to the car it was icy and foggy. The ice wasn't too much of a problem, even on the country roads, but the fog was a different matter - it got thicker and thicker as she got closer to work, and by the time she was driving through Ashridge Park it was a real pea-souper. If any wildlife had jumped out at her car, she would just have hit them because she wouldn't have seen them - visibility was down to a couple of feet at most. She just followed the white line in the middle of the road, which luckily takes you directly through the forest - if it had veered off down some track, she would just have followed it because she became completely disorientated.
Anyway, she got to work safely and is now tucking into a large bowl of porridge (yummy), but she still has to face the journey home. Paws crossed the fog has disappeared by then.
