Watering the veg patch tonight, I smelled a really nasty smell. Sometimes we get wafts of slurry, silage or fertiliser from the nearby farms but as they're combining at the moment I didn't think it was them. The smell was stronger by the hedge bordering nextdoor. I asked P to come and have a sniff and he confirmed it was a smell of decomposition. I had a look under the privet our side and didnt see anything then ferretted in the thick privet hedge to look through to nextdoor. Then found it. A dead little muntjac deer. I can't see what killed it and I haven't the courage to go nextdooor to find out. Such a shame and I'm so sad.
