I did think about hunting trophies when, for a brief moment, I pictured the antler on the wall in my house and perhaps that unhappy thought made it easier for me to give it away.

I'm a granny from Edinburgh. The other day I was digging in my garden (where we've lived for 28 years), thought I'd hit a root and dug up... an antler. Very odd! I'll be back.

It made me think of those hunting lodges where some less fortunate deer end up as trophies mounted on the walls - sadly, an all too common sight here in Canada. It is a great idea to give it to the school and help to educate children about the importance of wildlife conservation.

One day I hope to find a moose antler just lying there in the woods for me to bring home, but they are rather large and unweildy, so my husband would say very firmly "no." <br />It's very generous of you & best beloved to add it to the school collection for all to enjoy :)<br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-78654225164348819662017-09-03T09:10:53.680+01:002017-09-03T09:10:53.680+01:00I love the image of the rose garden and tea and ca...I love the image of the rose garden and tea and cake.
