Wave hello, wave goodbye...

.....to misquote Marc Almond. Something that would get you certified if you did it in one of them there big towns. Waving at other drivers I mean, not anything remotely nefarious.

Everyone does it. Apart from the main road all other roads are single track with passing places, someone pulls in for you - or you pull in for someone else - and a cheery wave is the normal exchange. Fine and dandy. But when you get on the main road you realise that folk still wave as they pass in the opposite direction. Or you've just pulled up outside the shop in Mid Yell or Aywick and a car trundles past - they wave again. And folk actually say 'hello', even if they've never seen you before.

It's nice to be nice.
