Watching George and Larry Lamb having a problem with cows made me think.
Many years ago I lived in a cottage on the banks of a canal. One day I was looking out of an upstairs window and saw about five cows being herded along the towpath by a lady. She opened my gate and herded them into my garden. I suddenly thought I've left the patio doors open. I ran downstairs and there was a cow in my lounge!
I panicked and did a stupid thing. I phoned my husband at work and asked what do I do?
He told me not to be so stupid and shoo it out the house. I did and locked the door.
The lady called later and explained she herded them in my garden while she got the farmer to come and rescue them, which he did later to my relief.
I got some choice words from husband when he came home, like what could he do twenty miles away, you stupid woman! Memories eh!

No present tonyav. I was lucky because I had been playing records earlier and they were spread out on the floor. The cow had missed all of them!

Last flash from the past in this house was the time when the painters were doing the outside window frames - well no one told me!!

I've had a few Mallards in the lounge, they were watching Heartbeat.

Pity your mum and dad didn't have one of those old fashioned farm house door's, mallyh. The cow could have just had a nose round and trotted off.

Lucky that the cow didn't trample your records, Caran.

Must have been that episode about the 'Quack' doctor.
