I love his gravestone, with the motorcyles and his smiling statue. The middle pic with the angel was taken just a few feet from there. (For those not in the know, he was an aviator and motorcycle racer—here's a link: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=17864462_ I'm glad you've seen the deer too, I was wondering if I was deluded. I wonder where they go during the day? There are some thickety bits I suppose. He’s my husband’s favourite resident too, Josh. I love his gravestone, with the motorcyles and his smiling statue.

As a Cemmy Junction (area) resident I can tell you the little deer live there all the time - I think they're called Monkjack?

great pictures! wish I was photogenic!

As a Cemmy Junction (area) resident I can tell you the little deer live there all the time – I think they’re called Monkjack?

And my favourite actual Cemmy Junction resident is the amazing Bernard Laurence Hieatt – double world record holder at only 21.

(I have no idea how that got there.) I also think there are more than a few people who go there to drink and do more unsavoury things. During the day, though, it feels quite safe; it's near the police station and there are usually groundskeepers about. It's still used as a cemetery. It makes quite a nice walk...though maybe you want to wear boots in case of little furries! There are rats everywhere in Reading, though. I see them all the time. The wonderful power of nature...
