Morocco in Harborne

Took a long walk to work this morning with my friend C, her daughter and the pram. Good to have some exercise, I rarely do much except sit at my desk. On the way we passed this scarecrow in a Fez guarding the allotments of Harborne. He seems to be looking the wrong way - not facing the gardens but rather glowering (or at least I hope so) at the 4x4 lunatics racing up the adjacent road. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: flat, tarmac'd, city roads do not require 4x4 vehicles.
