Loads in our hedgerow - I call it that rather than hedge as it is the border to the farm next door and has a big variety of vegetation. That might have something to do with the industrial quantities of bird seed and nuts mind.

I used to lay in my bed in Llanrumney listening to those foghorns. Sound travels far at night. Also, a hooting owl in the forest.

Maybe its just around me then. We still get lots of ice cream vans in car parks around the countryside and some by city parks, but the regular estate vans have pretty much disappeared - along with the Steptoe & Sons and bicycle knife grinders!
