Taking Time

Little Archie, charcoal drawing.

​This Summer and Autumn has shown a wonderful, growing trend, on an old theme, where cattle are concerned.
Driving through the Norfolk and Suffolk countryside I have been delighted to see a few herds of bulls, cows and calves, unusually all turned out together, such a happy scene compared to isolated bulls, and calves taken from their mothers after only a few days.
The calves staying longer with their mothers is a joy and, we always stop the car, and watch them graze in gentle sunshine,​for as long as we can.
My 'sometimes annoying' habit of being early for every appointment facilitates this, and I am glad of it.
