In among the mayhem

Have you ever seen a sight that really warmed the cockles of your heart?
Last night, my husband and I went Into Gloucester for a meeting.
Subject to two nights of looting and rioting, we sat behind a line of Welsh riot police vans as we drove Into the city centre.
As we passed a main roundabout there on the Island was a large group of wild rabbits eating.
I thought this quite surreal at the time given the murder, looting and rioting our country had seen this week. At times, we must have wondered where the humanity In our society had gone.
Even as cars, lorries and riot police thundered past the Island, they carried on eating.
As we got closer, we saw what they were eating.
In among all that mayhem of the last week, some-one had dodged all that traffic on a main road to reach that Island and put carrots out for those rabbits.
