Part of me is saying ffs you're 47, single, it's Friday night and you're stood in a field watching a sunset. The other part of me thinks that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. 🤔🙂

Rescued two roe kids from a shallow well yesterday morning. 🙂 Ordinarily if you find deer kids/fawns, leave them alone. These two had no chance of getting out though. Relocated to a quiet spot where mum could find them. 🙂
