A January day waking up around the boggy brae

Time now to get sorted for Toadlet's riding lesson and then archery practice for Toad and me.

Oh, before I go... Saw three roe deer charging around the field earlier. At first I thought they were fleeing something but then, as they didn't leave the field, it seemed they were just having fun. There was a buck and two does, one of the does smaller than the other (last year's faun, perhaps). the smallest deer was charging around like a kid in apparently random directions. The larger two looked on for the most part from either side of the field, occasionally joining in with a mad dash or two. It was fun to watch.
