A grey February morning. The early rising beer and absinthe brigade sensibly huddled together in the warmth of the cafes back parlour . The lady in the blue quilted dressing gown and red pop pom slippers greets me with an amiable , if ever so slightly slurred , ' Salut ! M'Ongoose ' .
Out on the market square the last of the Christmas decorations , a ceramic polar bear and white plastic seal , peer out of the bakers window. Will they ever be taken down ? Next door , the newsagent informs me that he has taken delivery of the ' new season ' postcards. A surprisingly extensive medley of kitten photos . '' They're charming " said with what might appear to be enthusiasm .
The old farmer continues to deliver hay to the cows. '' Where do you think he's getting it from ? " asks ' the font ' . The cows munch away unconcernedly.
Maybe the council has a haystack next to the gravel pile....

DeleteHappy to see the cows are being fed!
ReplyDeletePolar bears, seals, kittens, happy cows, but where are the puppies?
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see a picture of the cows happily munching.
ReplyDeletePictures of little Polar Bears. Angus you tease.
Any puppy news??
I think Scotsmad is probably onto something--"Don't ask, don't tell" really applies here!
ReplyDeleteIn this instance, I don't care where the old farmer is getting the hay from....I'm just happy that the cows are okay.
ReplyDeleteI loved Scotsmad comment above...that is funny.
I guess some people want it to be Christmas year-round!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the cows are enjoying food, and I agree, it's probably best to be on a "don't ask, don't tell" status about the hay supply!
I like the kitten cards! Thanks for the happy hay-munching photo.
ReplyDeleteBeing a cat lady, we can enjoy the bit too bright kitty cards.
ReplyDeleteThe cows look quite content. They would thank you if they could for footing the bill. They can't so we will. Thank you.
Seeing the cows munching away makes me happy. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Janelle, Maggie Mae and Max
I kind of hope the Old Farmer is "borrowing" the hay from the cruel and neglectful farmer who never remembers to feed his cows.
ReplyDeletePurple Magpie with Mitzi and Emmy (who want to know when you'll be adding furry feet to your lives again!) ;)
Scotsman and mindthechiweenie are both right. Those cows are still far too thin. Thanks for highlighting their plight, if only to remind us ( as if we needed to be reminded) of the pain animals can suffer. But, thankfully, there are almost always old farmers.
ReplyDeleteLet me join Bertie in asking, Where are the puppies? Any news on the rules and regs about importing them? Found any Frenchs PONS? We have been patient you know, through all your traveling, etc. Not even one bit pushy!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat
I am happy that the farmer has acquired a stash of hay. Fingers crossed it can continue!
ReplyDeleteWhere ever he is getting it from it must be good hay. Those cows have put on some good condition in a short time.
