Friday turned into a nice warm sunny day at our Bakewell cottages. One cottage out and one back in and one cleaner up. Popped down to Bakewel to get provisions for the weekend whilst Chris went and re installed our friends computer. After lunch it was nice enough to spend some time feeding hanging baskets and pots whilst Chris cut the grass. With the maternity wing back on the other side of the road Andrew has let the youngsters into the front field for the first time this year and despite being over on this side of the road since May they were quite frisky . I had to go and move them at one stage as they were blocking the drive. After an early tea Chris went off to help one of his photography friends with a photo shoot and I thought I would have a quiet evening in. Fed the dogs and interrupted three times whilst washing up with phone calls and one of the cleaners called in to collect something she had left behind. At one stage I looked out the front and could see some car headlights at the bottom of the drive but didn’t think anything of it as I have noticed that cars stop quite regularly either to take phone calls or turn round. A few minutes late there were two cars at the bottom of the drive but I couldn’t make out what was happening although the cows seemed to be moving around a lot. I thought about going out but just in case it was Andrew I phoned Joanna, at this point Chris rushed in telling me I was needed immediately and to put my wellies on. I went out with him and he took cow dog as well and was told I was needed to help round up the remaining cows standing at the top of our field by the greenhouse and get them into the back field. Smudge was very good at getting them in there. Once back inside Chris told me when he got back he found there was a cow stuck in the cattle grid. He called Andrew and they got it out but had to walk it along the road into the next field through a gate so it couldn’t get back onto the road. A lot of the cows were milling round the cattle grid so Chris and Andrew herded them into another field to they could not be tempted to try crossing the cattle grid themselves. Chris did get kicked by a cow on the ankle in the process. So much for my quiet night in!
