Good luck on Thursday. If I was ever thinking of going deer watching then I know who I would contact for practical & safety advice Stephanie.

After you mention that, I can see the serious focus in his eyes. Shows how important it is to be a very safe distance from them.

Black and white photo of a towering rock formation at Brimham Rocks, showing stacked sandstone layers perched improbably on a narrow point above rocky ground.

A giant balancing boulder at Brimham Rocks rises among dense vegetation, its smooth layers and rounded shape set against a cloudy sky.

Mother Natureโ€™s version of rock stacking.

No sheep were available for scale, but they could easily meander beneath that boulder!

Lovely kind expression he has there Richard.
I'm sure that if a politician was interviewed by a BT, there's no way they would give an untruthful answer if the consequence was the Tilty Head - the ultimate expression of 'you must think I was born yesterday to believe that' ๐Ÿ˜€

A young border terrier.

A young border terrier.

Something from just after Little Joe ๐ŸŒˆjoined us, not even one, did this weekโ€™s #TerrierTuesday. As a youngster we saw a lot of the #TiltyHead as he explored the big wide world. As he became an older, wiser soul it came out less often - usually as a quizzical comment on the quirky behaviour of us!

A border terrier in close-up. He tilts his head and look inquisitively at the photographer, likely in response to โ€˜who wants a treat?โ€™ spoken in a sing-song voice. Of course he got his reward!

A perfect example of how they hypnotise you into giving them more treats ๐Ÿ˜€

We have a tiered/terraced garden and Alfie likes nothing better than climbing to the top and watching the world go by
This photo is 10 years old so there's no grey whiskers yet

A Lakeland view above Grasmere on a cloudy summers day.
In the foreground is a small section of the top layer of a traditional dry stone wall. Behind this is a large green tree in full leaf.
In the distance is a glimpse of Grasmere lake. And behind this are fells covered in green vegetation with some patches of exposed rock.
A dry stone wall is built without using mortar or cement, relying on the careful placement and interlocking of stones for stability.

Black and white photograph capturing a close-up view between an old stone wall and a weathered concrete fence post wrapped in barbed wire. The sun flares brightly through the narrow gap, casting dramatic light and shadow across the textured stone and grass below. Beyond the fence, a flat field stretches under a sky streaked with fast-moving clouds, creating a sense of depth and timeless rural solitude.
