Did you have a nice weekend?

Then I insist on replying.

Yes, thanks. Took daughter back to Uni on Sunday. It's quiet around here now!

My weekend included walking through Winchester on Sunday with a stuffed antelope's head under my arm. That's something you don't do every day.

I hope you attracted an enjoyable number of weird looks and sideways glances

Did you kill and stuff the antelope yourself?

Nope. Apparently it was stuffed in Liege in Belgium. Great conversation starter though - if you were looking for "company", it's a brilliant ice-breaker. Not had such a good laugh for ages.

Were you on a "stag" weekend?

No, I didn't get the horn either.

I have some stuffed animals left over from my old mans estate - namely a stuffed owl complete, a stuffed deer head and some mounted and framed butterflies

I'm thinking about putting them on eBay where they appear to go for circa £200 but was wondering if the animal loonies ever targeted these activities or do they see them as a legacy of Victoriana?

Where did you get yours from?
