This past July in England, staying at my sister's place, her garden backs onto cropping fields. Got up at sparrows to go to the Silverstone F1, very first of the light. Standing in the kitchen looking out the window, there's something moving in the corner of the garden. Little bit more light, well bugger me there's a roe deer in the greenhouse. That's not good I thought.
It wasn't. The wee deer had polished off all the vegetable plants, various flowers... I shooed it out and the cockerpoo chased it round the field for a couple of laps. Sister was farkin' furious with hubby for leaving the door open (again). Since then, the deer have eaten the entire new hedge they planted, several posh shrubs and been into the greenhouse (again).
I used to be scolded by my sister for wanting to shoot everything, but there's a standing invite to go shoot the damn deer now.
