Awwwwwwww bambi!


Keen readers of my outpourings will know that I have something of an interest in the local wildlfe, and examples thereof feature in these pages at regular intervals.

You might remember the fox that was here a while ago, but anyway here's a deer that I noticed down across the fields about 400 metres away and I'm glad have a decent lens ob this camera..

I thought at first that it might be Bambi but judging by those antlers, maybe not and he would probably be quite offended at the thought. He's maybe come to challenge Strawberry for possession of the local herd but Strawberry would soon see him off.

Anyway, he's cute and so he merits a page on my blog.

In other news, we are making progress on the roof of this lean-to.

The front part of the wall has all been built up level, inside and outside, and we've put the horizontal wooden beam in position, embedding it into the cement and packing behind it with stones and cement. We have now made good progress with the inner lining of the far wall. We are lining it in breeze blocks and putting a cladding of stones on the outside.

Terry and Simon have been doing the masonry work and I've been mixing the cement and doing all of the fetching and carrying. It's wearing me out but it's clearly doing me some good. It's been a long time since I felt as exhausted and I'm going to bed just now before I fall .....

ZZZZZZZZZZ
