..to not let DS bring home the bones of a dead dear so he can build with them in the garden!!!!

[Eve]

... he was beside himself with joy at finding them!

He has wanted to find a pair of antlers for such a long time, and found these bones with a skull with antlers attached! I allowed him to take the skull home , but drew the line at the rest of the bones!

Poor teacher is getting the skull at show and tell today!

What a fab find!

(I initially read this as bones of a dead dad - glad to find it's not quite as gruesome as I thought!)

Oh dear. Boom Boom!!

(Sorry, couldn't resist).

and that should be deer ... not dear! my excuse is the time!

I remember my boss came into work one day very shaken because she had written off her car by running into a deer on her way to work. We were sitting being sympathetic, but all my colleage and I could think about was "I must not say oh dear...I must not say oh dear....."

wow, where do you live Eve?

near the New Forest!

Found the deer in the woods beside the field where the horses are kept, which is in the forest.

We have 2 young stags living in our field at the moment, I catch sight of them when I arrive early in the morning... they are beautiful!
