Oh No ... The Skies Falling Down ...

(Or ‘the dangers of falling sugar beet!’)

As Greenhouse Girl was going to work one day, whack! A sugar beet fell from the sky and almost landed on the bonnet of her car.

‘Goodness gracious me!’ said Greenhouse girl, ‘the sky must have fallen down; I must go and tell the Queen ...’

Can you believe it! I know my insurance will cover another car hitting my car, but sugar beet falling from a great height I doubt!!

At this time of year, up here in Yorkshire, the roads are strewn with trails of sugar beet down the edge of the roads ... and today I saw the culprit! Massive lorry, no covering on the top, merrily bounding down the road in front of me. Stuck in traffic, when he sets off in front of me ‘bounce’ out falls sugar beet ... just missing the bonnet of the car ... as if getting to work isn’t hard enough already!

Hey Ho, could be worse, at least I wasn’t being followed by Foxy Loxy, like poor old Chicken Licken was ...
