A white reindeer crossed roads, swam across a canal and ended up in an old coal mine after escaping from a Christmas tree farm.
Holly and Tinsel had only been at Friezeland Farm, Market Bosworth, for about 20 minutes when she somehow sneaked out on Friday morning.
She was missing all weekend but Friezeland Christmas Trees general manager Paul McRobert got a call this morning from a resident in Nailstone, three miles away, who said a reindeer had been spotted in the old mine just outside the village.
Paul said: "We had about half a dozen people at the old mine where we eventually got a rope on her and she was finally back here by the evening.
"There's no way she's escaping again. We don't know if she went under the fence or over it but we've made the whole place secure now.
"Holly was definitely pleased to see her again and they both seem happy after Tinsel's adventure.
"She would have had to swim over the Ashby Canal to get to Nailstone but swimming's no problem for reindeer."
The reindeer were brought to the farm so they could be seen by visitors in the run-up to Christmas and the businesses was also hoping Holly and Tinsel could be trained to wear harnesses for sleigh rides.
