As I walk Beano three or four times a day I spent a lot of time walking the streets.
I only walk in daylight, I'm not afraid of walking after dark as I live in a residential area. I am, however afraid of tripping over in the dark and having an accident.
I often see the same people on my walks, I tend to smile and say hello. I see people with dogs, I see people jogging, some are going shopping. I've also noticed lads on bikes, I tend to shorten Beano's lead if a cyclist approaches as Beano can be snappy if bikes get too near. I've always smiled at people regardless of age or gender.
As I said I've noticed lads on bikes and not thought anything of it. Last week I was walking along an alley and there was a couple, similar age to me, walking in the same direction. We all said hello as we walked along. Suddenly one of the lads appeared on his bike, I smiled and carried on walking. The couple stopped and I assumed they knew the lad. As I turned onto the main road I noticed a bit of furtive fumbling behind me and the couple turned and walked back the way they'd come. I then realised that the lads on bikes are gofers for the local drug dealers. Obviously I was a bit thick not to have realised earlier but it didn't occur to me. I'm a bit naive where drugs are concerned.

When I was taking driving lessons, I was warned to avoid the cyclists as they were the local deliveries for drugs and not always steady. Like you, I had no idea! It's a funny old world.
Please pass on gentle scritches to Beano.
We have three modern barber shops in the village centre. I don’t know how they keep in business as they seem only to cut the staff’s hair and beards.
I've seen similar - The youths usually have a small crossover bag that they can sling if cops bother to notice anything suspicious - Police I've reported it to aren't interested - In fact I'm an annoyance it seems For mentioning my concern x
Hoping you are okay. Missing your posts :)
