Deer oh Deer
Deer oh Deer
We have decided to have a weekend up at the hall, just me and Rachel to try it out and see if it’s possible to stay over yet. It’s so dusty that it’s just not practical for the kids to be with us but we’ve brought the pop-up tent from home and set it up on the mezzanine floor complete with a foam mattresses, blankets, torches and sleeping bags. The hope was, this should keep the dust out and the heat in, and it seems to work relatively well.
The following morning as we’re sitting in the outdoor area with our coffees and instant porridge, we are paid a visit. A deer is making its way nervously across the field from left to right oblivious to us sitting there over our steaming breakfast pots. Rachel instinctively reaches for her camera phone and I try to stay still despite my excitement. It’s beautiful and the fact this is happening while Rachel is there makes it all the more special.
This is what we could have to look forward to when we stay over for real and it just ramps up our love of this old building significantly. There aren’t many things which make you feel more privileged than having one of natures more timid creatures roaming around right in front of you, while you enjoy your brekkie.
This place is going to be amazing once it’s finished!
