No other bonfire words spring to mind though, except ‘firework’ (that’s a strange word too; why ‘work’?).<BR/><BR/>Is it Helen your daughter-in-law? Or some unkown? <BR/><BR/>People expect aggression from bulls (often unjustifiably but best not mess!) but cows can be fiercer than people suppose. They are big heavy creatures and I believe they have been known to cause death. <BR/>I recall going out into the country (just before the war started I think) with my uncle, who had a car. We, five of us, had gone into a field, probably mushrooming, when one of several cows decide to take a closer look at us. My aunt, of a nervous disposition in respect of animals, decide to run for the fence. The cow took up the chase so we all ran, except my dad who grabbed a rotten stick from the hedge and assumed matador role. The puzzled cow stopped and we all got over the fence safely. <BR/><BR/>Rob:<BR/><BR/>I think Stockton is rather a long way. Near Middlesborough I suppose. If you were driving I certainly don’t envy you!<BR/><BR/>Please don’t overpraise; I am not consistently good!<BR/><BR/>I am not familiar with Doisneau. Jane Bown did one of a farmer leaning over a wall; probably looking at a sheep.<BR/>I think my first ‘backshot’ was of a crowd at Wheelus Airbase, Tripoli (the largest US airbase outside the States). The Yanks, as is their wont, had organised a rodeo, using camels rather than horses. It was boring (as I believe all rodeos are, with long periods of nothing happening) and a flop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
