Cor blimey missus, look at the antlers on that!
Bushy Park in west London is where my partners Gran courted, and rumour has it, may well have conceived my Mother-in-law.. don't anyone tell her I mentioned it else Christmas dinner will be a frosty affair.
Bushy's in Richmond, just a stone's throw geographically speaking from Central London. For me, living in east London, it seems a long way these days, taking at least an hour to get there by train. But it's well worth the visit. It's an amazing park. They have more than 300 red and fallow deer. These are big, BIG mammals. They look powerful but delicate at the same time.
Thankfully it's not rutting season, so the males are happy to watch us, watching them without flexing their muscles and waggling those aforementioned antlers... each antler on a red deer can weigh up to 3 kilograms, that's equal to three bags of sugar. Heavy enough to do serious damage.
I'm in Bushy Park off the Chestnut Walk on Monday but our London Team, ably supported by volunteers, are there all week, waiting to help you discover the deer and other wildlife that live in Bushy Park.. but rest assured, my gran will not be putting in an appearance in the bushes. God rest Mary Brumpton.
sounds like a great place, think you're definitely in for a frosty festive, though maybe, too much information lol
