  SILLY COWS!

  (Sorry!) Actually looks like a bullock!

  Hi to you Beth and all your readers. I haven’t been on since before summer; I’ve had a long holiday from my computer! The shots from the last few days look great, as does this guy here. I loved your shot of Cullercoats and the relected Emerson Chambers.

  There’s this advert running on TV from the California Dairy people that goes “Good cheese comes from happy cows, and happy cows come from California.” And it has clips of cows very much like these cows.

  They’ve shown cows in Michigan shivering and complaining in the snow. Oh well. The cows I know around here (and there is a dairy farm just down the road) all go into the barn when it’s chilly. They’re not as clueless as California cows. They must make intelligent cheeses.

  Tee hee!

  Is it only Newcastle where you can find cows grazing so near to the city centre? In Milton Keynes they have to make do with concrete cows. One of the joys of of living to a ripe old age is that I can recall when they used to drive herds of cows over the old Redheugh Bridge to the cattle market where the Centre for Life is now and delay my bus on the way to school.

  here in coventry, former apprentices think it is hilarious to threaten to invoke their right to graze cattle on hearsall common. few are aware that the practise continues in newcastle. long may it continue, and perhaps other cities could be inspired to reintroduce the grazing of livestock on urban common land.

  Of all the big cities of England, there is nowhere else with an open “City Centre Park” as vast and . . er . . ‘open’ . . . as Newcastle!!

  Here is a LINK to our discussion thread on the history, the present and people wide-ranging views on some possible future uses of Town Moor . . .

  I’m glad you all like the cows! (and welcome back dave, i’ve been wondering where you were!)

  thanks for the link Peter, that was really interesting. I love the Town Moor as it is, but wouldn’t be adverse to some tasteful development of some areas - NOT housing though!

  one day I’ll have to register on the forums…..

  Would love to see you on there Beth!

  You would enjoy it, but I think the rest of us would get more from it, because of your contributions.

  Regards,
  Peter (NH)
