The French have a phrase which goes something like, "Don't sell the bear skin before killing the bear.".... I know the saying better as "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"
I seem to have inadvertently sold the bear skin before the eggs hatched!
A few weeks ago, I posted on here about my success at getting some bamboo to strike after nearly three years of trying.
Well, the other day, whilst checking my pots and things I discovered that the bamboo shoots had been completely vandalised! Something had eaten all of them. I wasn't aware that pandas were a problem in this part of France, but what else could be causing such a problem.
Whilst wondering to whom I should report this extraordinary panda presence, I received an email from my friend Michael with these lovely photo's which I think might signal the source of my problem. He took these photos of a deer and it's fawn in my neighbour's garden. I hope you enjoy the photos, just as much as the deer apparently enjoyed my bamboo. Many thanks to Michael for sharing them.

So it's Bambi who's been at the bamboo! As always Michel's photos are wonderful and I'm sure you can forgive the vandalism.
