May 26th – In the pretty Derbyshire village of Lullington, right in the centre of the village, is this grizzly curiosity. One of the houses has a garage built on the edge of the street, and high up on the wall, the owners mounted two animal heads. I’m not sure if they’re some kind of deer or what, but the ravages of weather and time have stripped the skin from the skulls, and now, it’s just those that remain. A horrid thing, and I can’t imagine what the people who retain them are thinking, to be honest. A very peculiar sight in an otherwise beautiful place.

Thanks to Peter ‘Pedro’ Cutler, who spotted these first in his Panoramio gallery some years ago.
