In the pride of his youth

Oh goodness, everything is suddenly becoming so Christmassy.  There was a very hard white frost this morning and I went out uber early because the engineer was supposed to be coming 'after 10am' to service the boiler.  Of course he hasn't turned up yet, so here I am blipping well before usual because I'm stuck indoors.  And not able to put the heating on till after it's done - brrr!

So what does all that have to do with Christmas?  Well seeing this beautiful beast shaking the frost off his coat just as the sun was rising.  He was quite small, a young one, but if you look at the top of his head you can see the bumps where his antlers are beginning to grow.  I wonder if he's this one.  Well, maybe.  He's fully wild anyway, but did he care I was watching him?  Not a bit!  A shoo-in for the sledge this year..

I don't think the day's going to hold a lot else of interest, just cleaning and stuff.  Certainly nothing as wonderful.

Hope your day goes well, Monday or no.  Be happy  xx
