Ormonde Hill

A Red Letter Day

Walking up the path towards the hill.
A deer rears up above us on the slope
It runs down the slope across the path right infront of us and into the trees
Poppy is off at top speed after it
My heart sinks
I feel sick
How long will she be gone
Will she come back before it gets dark?

I call
Blow the whistle"...................

She STOPS in mid flight
Turns
And walks back to us.

Sardines for their tea tonight!
