Bold deer.

The weather 'changeable'. At one stage yesterday it was a comfortable 14 degrees under a cloudless sky. Two hours later it was wet and chill. All being well, in another three weeks the weather will be warm enough for the PONette to have a major summer fur trim.


Town is back to normal. The last of the camera crew were due to leave yesterday morning but somehow everything dragged on until the evening. Down by the golf course there's an entire field of 1990 era cars being loaded onto transporters. They've been used in filming and are now being taken back down south. After our tour of the beach  we think of going to the trendy cafe in the middle of town but it's already full of students. 


Back at the last house before Denmark the sun comes out. Sophie wanders down the track to the waters edge. She's looking for the Jack Russells but they're long gone. There's a definite change in the seasons taking place. Soon we'll be in the time when it's light from four in the morning to midnight.  In the last three days there have been subtle changes in our little corner of paradise. The fallow field has given itself over to birdsong which starts at 5:39 and carries on for the better part of an hour. The deer are getting much bolder. 'The Font' finds two of them contentedly grazing on a flowering currant in the field behind the garage. 


This will give you a feel for the dislocation that has hit this small town of 18,000 souls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-UJS_NW-ns

Nobby would like to come and sort out those bold deer for you.

Back to normal, and long walks for the sweet girl.

Those deer have got a nerve! I hope Sophie gave them a good telling off and sent them on their way!

The robins sang with full voice and sweetness at twilight last evening for the first time this year. So cheering to be leaving winter behind here and in Scotland.

Sophie says, "It's a wrap!"

Lots of deer out in paddocks of winter wheat in Hampshire today... seen from a little cycling outing. They seem quite blasé.

There are always little doggie vests in case the shearing happens a bit too soon.
Glad the town is back to one of the normals.
