I have just had a phone call from the lady who has just moved in to the house, suppose you call it next door, but its two fields away. She said the calves belonging to the farmer who rents some of our land, have escaped this evening into next doors field, and have been rattling at her gate. She has shood them away apparantly. I said it is rather dark for me to go stumbling through the long grass next door - its pitch black outside, and I am sure they have either returned to the cows the way they went, or have filled their bellies and lay down for the night!!!
She seemed to think I ought to ring the farmer, but I do not think he will thank me for waking him up at this time. He gets up about 4.30am. And what can he do about it anyway, he will be in the same position as me, stumbling about in the dark!!!
