June 10th – Cycling over to the supermarket in Burntwood, I surprised this lady grazing on the scrub on the Sportway, which just goes to show that even at 4pm on a bright, sunny day it’s important to be vigilant for red deer on the Chasetown Bypass and other roads around the heaths of our area. Visibly annoyed with me for disturbing her lunch, she looked at me scornfully, then trotted off casually towards the rugby pitch. A wonderful sight.
