Never mind the odd deer..... nuts to even a plague of slugs... fie and
a pox on cats even....( cue Hollywood 'deep throat' disaster movie
voice ).. this is the big one.

Was out strolling the grounds this morning and came across the manager
for the local estate farm scurrying furtively through the copse
adjacent to my garden.
Turns out he's lost some stock - some calves... ten, to be precise.
Gone AWOL since Friday apparently.

Someone left a gate open and they hot footed ( hoofed? ) it away.
He didn't seem too concerned, he reckons they won't go far....
probably end up in someone's garden!

....and now they're out there.... watching, waiting and very, very
hungry....

Looking on the bright side of things, this could be the ideal
opportunity to report to the forum which plants are cow-proof!

Regards,
