Just try a soft nosed calf nuzzling in the palm of your hand, or watch the lambs gambol in Spring. Or just get a peg to pinch the nostrils together on hyper-smelly days. Have to say, it smells a lot better than Burton-on Trent on a brewing day. Or London underground on any day.Mopsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912659592484055741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-14866197131799197122007-09-20T11:34:00.000+01:002007-09-20T11:34:00.000+01:00this just spurs on my campaign to get all livestoc...this just spurs on my campaign to get all livestock moved at least ten kilometres away from the village mopsa dear.

Only noticed as we lay in the bath ... "Funny, I don't remember a freckle there..." Just came off with rubbing in the hot water, so I think they didn't much like the taste.<BR/><BR/>Ah, that was a magical holiday. Baking hot days, flat calm, crystal clear (and icy!) water. We were touring on a 1000cc V-twin and had a simply wonderful time. Thanks for poking that memory!Rob Clackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461714931300617149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-87532668248857536492007-09-19T09:33:00.000+01:002007-09-19T09:33:00.000+01:00I wince in sympathy - at least if you have any mys...I wince in sympathy - at least if you have any mysterious illness apear you'll be aware enough to tell the medics about the tick.
