oh dear - a DEER



This poor little fellow seems to have wandered onto the Park from goodness knows where during the night. All campers very excited, he has just wandered off to neighbouring park for a change of scene. Seems to be a very healthy and curious Roe deer stag with a little set of antlers. Hoping he doesn't come to grief through a car/dog/bunch of youths and makes the 2 mile or so journey to the open countryside. Unless, of course, he has brought his family to ride the roller coasters and shop on the market...always possible I suppose!
Yellow horse went to a small show yesterday. I actually rode him in a show horse class. We got second. There were only two in the class. The judge said (and I quote) "The only thing stopping that horse from winning this class is his rider". "He's a lovely horse, very settled and excellent prospects, just needs you to ride him better."...I am paralysed by nerves in a showring, which is why I always look for another pilot. What a humiliating experience! I was also wearing white trousers instead of cream/yellow, had no gloves, and no net on my hair. I could have been sent out of the ring for any of these misdemeanors apparently.
VACANCY
Capable rider needed to pilot yellow horse at local shows. Owner need not apply!
Hen night on Saturday night for friend, show on Sunday, tired on Monday. DAy off tomorrow but multiple jobs to be done, Lincs show Wednesday, and somewhere must squeeze in more work.
Oh dear.

I guess deer are curious at how the other half lives, eh?

Sounds like Skipper is going to trade you in for a snazzier model!
