One of several ‘road blocks’ today…belties 🥰

A photo of several belted galloway cattle (black with broad white ‘belts’) standing on a stony track across the moor. Nearest the camera is a mother and calf both watching to see if I’m a threat. Another cow and calf off to the left with their backs to the camera. The track curves around to the left past the cattle. The sky is blue with light white cloud.

    Our neighbourhood is giving good farmy vibes at the moment. Two gentle-looking coos in a field at the end of the road…and sheeps…and lambs in another! I can hear the sheep when I’m in the garden. It’s rather lovely.

    A photo of several newly shorn white sheep, grazing in the dappled shade of trees at the edge of a field. The sheep have numbers painted on their sides in red. The sky glimpsed through the overhanging branches of the trees is bright blue.
    Photo of two little white lambs seeking shelter from the hot sun under a tree at the edge of a field - the ewes are out of frame under trees on the far side of the field. The tree is fenced from the field but the lambs can get under the wooden rails. They’re looking at the camera wondering if they should call for mum.

    A photo of two cows lying down in a grass field - the one nearest the camera is grey and black, the other slightly further back is red-brown. Houses back onto the field, separated by bushy green hedges. They rise on a hill, sloping up to the left. The sky is bright blue, just a few wisps of white cloud.

    Sore feet after a 12-mile walk this afternoon to a location known as World's End. These three pictures were of the destination, but the stars of the show were cows. Hairy cows. You'd better like cows for the pictures I have to follow 😊

    View of the same weir from the road, showing the stream crossing through rows of rocks either side. Trees all around Sunny
    Panoramic view of narrow country road curved into a sharp horseshoe bend at head of valley. Weir to right, as road climbs beyond. Road descends to left. Within curve, a stream and field with many and varied tall trees. Hills beyond on horizon

    And now for the main show. HAIRY COWS! First the grown-ups..

    💕😊

    A large, heavy chestnut bull. Hairy! Horns curved forward. Standing, turning to camera, being protective of a tan cow, resting behind. Both in a sloping meadow
    Same bull and cow pair in a meadow. Him, standing behind, turning to face camera. Her, still lying, just glancing at camera from beneath long fringe
    Similar pose of same pair, but now both looking directly to the left

    And last but not least, the hairy kids, hanging out by a shaded stream 😊

    💕😊

    A curious, tan, hairy calf, standing in shade of tree above, looking at camera. Grassy meadow banking a stream in foreground
    Three calves, two tan ones in field, standing just beyond stream in which a chestnut calf stands. All hairy. All looking at me! Leafy branch of tree in foreground above
    Cute tan, hairy calf, standing in field, looking to camera and smelling the air. Long hair and fringe hiding eyes. Tree stump on stony bank, on edge of stream, in foreground to right. Leafy branch in foreground above and to left

    Two calves, one partially hidden behind tree with multiple trunks by streams edge. The other, chestnut coloured and hairy, standing in the foreground and facing, ankle deep in the stream, looking directly at camera while chewing a piece of long grass. Field rising beyond. Edge of riverbank on foreground showing numerous wild flowers
