This is the back route to the Hospital of St Cross and Almshouses of Noble Poverty. A notice on the first gate gives advice on what to do if you feel threatened by the cattle.
Apparently you raise your arms in the air to make yourself look big but you then resist the temptation (my words) to wave them about.
On the right was the location of the mythical heron I mentioned in yesterday's 'crocuses' post.
I know it would be hard for me not to do that! (There have been nasty incidents involving cattle and dogs in fields, even fatalities. Luckily Jinks does not bark at cattle, only other dogs!)
You are right to be cautious Hazel...cows can be unpredictable especially at calving time or when you have a dog...I would be wary too going through a field of cows if I didn't know them & I am well used to cows! These look like beautiful water meadows!
Beautiful scene, and interesting instructions on what to do should you have a cow encounter. I wonder if it really works. I don't think I'd like to be there to find out.

nice light here
It's great to 'meet' somebody with an imagination to match mine!
