Reindeer and other deer at Wildwood Trust Kent; the Giant Irish Deer; A Norwegian journey north into the Arctic Circle; two favourite childhood Christmas songs and a recipe for Rudolf Shepherd’s Pie.
I learned a lot reading this -- for example, that European bison almost became extinct, and that reindeer are often domesticated. This category of animal seems to be quite different in Northern American and Europe, so my French vocabulary for them is a bit of a mess.
They are lovely animals - I am glad you found the article interesting. Yes, the difference between reindeer and caribou is confusing. I think caribou are always wild reindeer. Yes, the trip to the Arctic Circle and seeing the northern lights has been on my bucket list for decades. It moved me deeply - and I shall never forget being there.
I love the deer in Richmond Park (Red and Fallow), but also love venison pie! So interesting to learn about Bison and Elk. Your trip to the artic sounds incredible.
Thank you so much for your feedback Judith. Yes the Arctic trip was magical with the scenery, the wildlife, the Aurora Borealis, the food and the pure, fresh air. Thanks so much for restocking Judith.
I have just finished reading this wonderfully informative and very well researched article

Perfect compliment to the season that will shortly be upon us
Very well done
Thank you very much for your kind feedback Michael. It was a privilege to work with these magnificent deer and bison and to learn so much about them.

And that trip! What an unforgettable experience.
