Where the deer roam free
Far from the noisy city
I found stag nation
It’s Monday and Ronovan writes has thrown out a difficult coupling – stag and noise.
I had to resort to a pun. Still, it has given me a chance to use the photo I took of the obliging deer that strolled about while I stayed in Magdalen College Oxford a few years ago. A wonderfully peaceful and beautiful place.

They look at peace with the World around them. Not scared of humans these ones 🙂

They were beautiful creatures and so tame. I was very lucky to spend time there.

Lovely haiku, and a great excuse to use the picture!
I really like Magdalen too – can’t beat it for a spot of punting, or for the May Day morning choir
