There we were, Lucie and I wandering along at the start of our morning walk, when out of an orchard wandered two Roe Deer followed a minute or so later by a third. A totally chance meeting that was obviously completely unexpected to both parties. Normally in this situation the deer will take a look and then run for it but on this occasion we just stood staring at each other. Me, the Parson Jack Russell and the three deer and then the deer just walked way across a field, jumped the dyke and were gone.
A completely silent exchange of stares then it was as if they hadn't been there, an early morning apparition and Lucie and I just carried on with our walk.
