Spring has Sprung!

We share our country lane with a dairy farm and Friday was the day the cows went out for the first time after a long winter in the cattle sheds. I love watching their first foray out into the fields again, even the oldest grumpiest milker becomes a spritely young heifer again as they run and jump and play and enjoy the freedom and fresh grass.

I wish I'd been able to video them leaving the sheds but my camera batteries were flat so here they are all settled down and grazing in the afternoon...

The large white one on the left is actually a bull who is running with the herd of milking cows.

Not terribly exciting I know but a welcome sight for all us country dwellers...it means summer is on it's way!
