On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me ….
Ten stags in lieu of reindeer.
(and some hinds came along as well)
These deer were photographed at Studley Royal, Knole, and Harewood.

Lovely to see the deer. Look forward to your next take on the Christmas song.

I wish I’d thought of it sooner and it was meant to be a one off. I wonder if I could, at this late stage?

Thanks Jo. Your easiest port of call would be Harewood to see theirs. When you’re in England, natch.
