We had a magical surprise tonight.  In what is a very stressful period of time for me and the other half, we (including the children) were stopped in our tracks tonight by a simply wonderful sight.

We spotted a deer in our next doors garden.  I have since been informed by my learned mother that is must have been a Muntjac.  Whatever it was it just made our night.  We tried to take a couple of photos but without being able to use flash and open the window, not sure how they will come out. 

If they are any good I’ll post a picture next time round.  For now this graphic will have to suffice.

My son spotted it first and shouted me.  I thought he was tricking me.  I then shouted down to my husband who was in the kitchen, who replied ‘are you having me on?’  (make a mental note for April Fools Day!).

But yes it was true our very own Bambi in the garden. 

I loved that film, it still makes me cry now.
