This is a bit strange.
While out and about on the bike this afternoon, zipping around east
Staffordshire (specifically between Shuttington & Seckington, four or five
miles from Tamworth) On a remote and quite featureless road I passed by a
substation in an enclosure - normal enough. On the fence around it, at the
roadside, were cable tied 9 or so different childrens teddy bears. All
white, quite symmetrical in layout. At first I thought it was a roadside
shrine to an accident, but there were no cards or flowers. Shaking my head,
I left and rode on.
About a mile or so further on toward Seckinton, I came accross this:

It's the work of the same hand. It's on a fieldedge fence, at the roadside,
no buildings for some distance. Again, there were no cards or flowers, but
it's obviously drawn attention because the grass before it has been stomped
flat. Something about the way some of those guys have been fixed suggests
that this wasn't done with great affection.
Has anyone got any idea what this is about? It's creeping me out...
