I do wonder who looks after Petal and Rosie.

Keith, a local smallholder, looks after Petal. We have lived in our village for a number of years. Petal is normally kept on our village green on her own. I felt sorry for her so when we go for a walk we would go and say hi to her and take her a treat or two. As you know, cows are social animals and live in herds. I asked Keith if we could feed her and what we were allowed to feed her. It turned out her favourites are apples. Now when she sees or hears us coming she comes running towards us and skids to a halt right in front of us. Keith said she looks forward to seeing us more than him and he thinks she would follow us anywere. So now he says she is our cow. We are going to see Petal and Rosie in a while when we go for our Sunday morning walk. At the moment she's not on the green, but in a barn with Rosie the calf because she is still so young. I'm going to take a photo so you can see how Rosie has grown.

A lovely looking family group. (Where is dad?) Rosie will be so pleased that Petal has such magnificent bosoms!

Yes, Petal is currently producing so much milk we have been invited to partake of those bosoms whenever we like this week

You know what it is with youngsters today. She went out on the town with the girls, had too much to drink and Rosie was the result.

Here is the latest photo of Rosie. She is growing quickly. She is about half the size of her mother, Petal. When I compare Rosie against Edwin, Petal's first calf, she is much more shy. Edwin at this age would come over with little encouragement, get a rub and take some apples from me, but Rosie keeps hiding behind her mum.
