The Great Squid People used to ride the gleaming white chalk roads in great glass globes of water pulled by teams of clattering crabs.
But then the deers took over, a Dark Age came when the roads were covered with grass.

Oh, deer!
"The A303 highway that passes only 165 meters (541 feet) from the south side of Stonehenge...
Those who have travelled the A303 know that it often takes geological time to traverse it.
Very poetic :)
@futurebird about five years ago I was stuck in a traffic jam on a section of the A303 - it's famous for summer traffic jams - with deep, thick woodland either side of the road.
I glanced left and was surprised to see a small herd of wild deer, stags with impressive antlers, sitting down in the forest as close to the edge of it they could be, relaxing in the summer afternoon heat and lazily watching the slowly-crawling traffic
Very picturesque stretch!
About 30 years ago I found a dead kestrel by the side of the A303 and took it home.
It was the first bird I reduced to a skeleton. I put it in a plastic box the would allow insects in, and hung it near the exhaust of my central heating as it was late autumn.
It had a ring on it, and I reported it to the RSPB. Still got the skeleton! And the flight feathers.
