Reindeer at Bradford
When we reached the destination at half past ten, my mother panicked.
"We always reach late" she kept muttering.
She examined the street, trying to find Santa's sleigh.A few minutes later she beckoned excitedly at my father, my brother, and me.We pushed through the crowd towards her, and there we saw them.There were six of them, all named.
We gazed at them for ages, because they looked as though in a dream.But then we started to shiver, so we had to move on.
Our next destination was Morrisons of which Teerno(my brother)
didn't like the sound of. I was happy to hear it ,as my feet were frozen.
On our way, we stopped at Specsavers, hoping to get an appointment for my eye test , but no, it was all booked up.
"You should be able to walk in if you come next Saturday before9 a.m , but we are all booked up on Saturdays until the twenty-ninth of December , and, unfortunately, we don't do kids' on Sundays," the man at the desk explained, looking at his computer.
"Alright, thank you !" Ma replied.
Then, we looked at all the different kinds of frames, choosing which one I would have next Saturday.
After that we went to Morrisons, did our weekly shopping, and returned home.

ReplyDeleteHere are some interesting facts about Reindeers :
Reindeer and Caribou are two names for the same species (Rangifer tarandus), with reindeer generally referring to the domesticated variety that are herded by humans and pull sleds. Such reindeer live mostly in Scandinavia and Siberia and are typically smaller with shorter legs than their wild caribou relatives. In Siberia, caribou are called "wild" reindeer.
Caribou are known to travel up to 3,000 miles (nearly 5,000 km) in a year, the longest documented movements of any terrestrial mammal, according to the IUCN. Their counterpart in the water, the humpback whale, holds the record for the longest mammalian voyage, swimming 5,000 miles (8,000 km) to their balmy breeding grounds in winter.
While they may not fly, scientists say caribou can run as fast as 48 mph (80 km per hour), though their normal walk is a slow one. When alarmed by a predator, however, a caribou will trot with its head held high and parallel to the ground, and its normally floppy tail held up in the air. When chased, it will gallop quickly.
These antlered deer live in Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia and Russia, where they graze on tundra plants. Rather than a velvety suit, reindeer are covered with hollow hairs that trap in air and keep them well-insulated from the elements. Plus, their circulatory systems keep the cooler blood in the reindeer's limbs from drawing heat from the warm blood in their core body.
