Working along the Lawrence Street (what becomes the Hull Road, so quite busy) today, sorting boxes into the trike at the kerbside, I looked up to see, taking a good strong primary through a pinch point to my right....
Two Greylag geese and their gosling.
As you can imagine, they don't walk fast, and the HGV behind them was crawling along. They eventually got up onto the pavement after the pinch point and the HGV driver passed, giving them loads of room.
I ducked (no pun intended) into a front garden to let them pass, but they spotted me and headed for the road again. Luckily, I was of course wearing my work hi-vis vest, so I stepped out into the road and stopped traffic while I shushed them back onto the pavement.
They waddled off, towards the park. Maybe they were going to play on the swings.
Anyway, if you want lots of patience and room, walk a goose next to you.
