This was the scene just a few days ago near where we live. The snow has all cleared away now but we have had hard frost since then and it’s actually a lot colder than it was with the snow.

One good thing was that there were no golfers around so we could walk across the golf course and not have to worry about flying golf balls. But what was really annoying was that it was virgin snow so we knew that there had been no deer around the place and I lived in hope of seeing some on the way back.

It was just typical that by the time we walked back that way about 20 minutes later – there were several sets of deer tracks. I swear they wait for us to go out of sight before emerging from their hidey holes. I could smell them but I wasn’t feeling energetic enough to track them down to get some photos of them. I’ll just wait until I bump into them!

Can anyone else smell deer? Jack just looks at me like I’m a bit mental when I say that. Ho hum!
