From those who brought you rampageous mountain goats in the Welsh countryside comes a daring sequel.
And this time, the wildlife has dared to enter… the capital?! Yes, this edition hits London town and it involves some beautiful deer reclaiming their streets. The quiescent roads of Harold Hill, you say? Oh, deery me. [Featured Image: Philippe Edmond, Facebook]
While the goats in Llandudno are getting all the publicity, how about a shout out for these deer who have colonised the empty streets of Harold Hill in east London? pic.twitter.com/sOZs4Tqf25

Posted on Twitter by none other than Mr. Billy Bragg, they can be seen grazing outside people’s houses and enjoying a nice kip in the sun. Maybe this is the new England Billy sang of…
With a nationwide lockdown in full effect, it’s no wonder these deer have ventured into uncharted waters to move onto pastures new. Who can blame them for wanting to see what all the fuss is about in London? Just like the goats, however, someone really should let them know about social distancing. They could get fined for that.
We’re very jealous that these animals get to enjoy a sit down on the grass, a classic British tradition as soon as the clouds even slightly part. Still, you can’t knock the deers or the goats for enjoying their day in the sun.
Yeah, I'm a pun rocker

Soon that’ll be us enjoying the rays once more. But, for now, let’s let nature have it’s fun. Heaven knows they’ve waited long enough.
