There are cows in the fields to the front and back of the house. The ones to the back are heffers. HK called me out to see them one evening. It seems that in the evening they come to the edge of the field nearest the house, then sometimes go down the edge of the field to our left, until they are fed. HK has been making friends with the cows - they are a friendly bunch! They come close enough now to be hand fed some grass.
The cows are curious and each seems to have a personality, such a shame (in a way) that they will end up on someones dinner plate. Anyhow, the dark tan cow in the middle is the friendliest and the boldest - he ended up with the most grass!
This was another curious cow. They are all handsome fellas in their own right.
Another 'group' photo!
Whilst we were talking with the cows, we were escorted by Butch aka Top Cat - TC. He often follows people about when they are walking round the garden and there about. Butch is from one of the farms. As we were walking down the lane to get back round to the front of the house, Butch and HK were walking together, like a pair of fellas out on the town. It would make a good picture from behind (where I was, as usual!). However, each time I stopped, Butch stopped and sat down as if waiting for me. Photo opportunity was gone. Butch has proved himself as a Ladies Man!
Round the front of the house - this is Mary-Jane's window, the little one. The cottage was originally a seperate dwelling, it's been knocked through now.
