Deer Everywhere!

This morning I took Ruby out for a run whilst Duncan packed up the van ready for our trip to Scotland.
We just did a leisurely five mile route out to the barn, through the terraced gardens, up to the Pike then home via Old Rake.  It was a beautiful morning and the wildlife was out in abundance, particular the deer which Ruby kept trying to chase.  On our way up through the terraced gardens, just after we had gone under the bridge, one ran across the path only a few feet in front of us and jumped over the stone wall.  Ruby tried to follow but was too small to jump over it although this didn’t stop her trying about ten times before eventually giving up.  The deer, along with it’s friend, was long gone by now but Ruby was still all excited wondering if there were more to chase. 
It doesn’t matter how often I see wild deer, they always make me stop to admire them.  They’re just so majestic and we’re so lucky to be able to see them regularly on our doorsteps.  Beautiful creatures!
Total Distance – 5.4 miles
