They spoke English. <br /><br />In England we have many public footpaths in the countryside. If your homestead was in England there would definitely be a couple of public rights of way passing through it. People who walk these paths - often for miles on end - can be described as "ramblers".<br /><br />Example orientation table on a French hill:-<br />http://www.panoramio.com/photo/113153230<br /><br />Thanks for calling by once again Hilly.

I'm not sure what an 'orientation table' is; one should never trust a cow; are 'ramblers' just people out strolling? and I wonder if potato peelings that are a 'doddle' are any tastier?

She had been on that path often and the cows and their calves weren't near the path when she walked. She walked quiet, didn't stop and no one knows why the cows attacked her.

Walk through a field of cows that are strangers and have calves at heel and you're never quite sure: a confident air is essential because cows can sense that. I recall reading that a bull will never attack you if you have your feet off the ground. I've never been convinced when I meet a bull that he's read the same book.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-16447690848018487352016-09-26T08:24:02.894+01:002016-09-26T08:24:02.894+01:00I would give cows a wide berth too…...

(as you always do)<br />When it comes to cows, I am not afraid of them, but I am aware of them being much stronger and faster than myself - so if they wanted to (and who knows what ideas pass through a cow's mind?), they could seriously harm me. Therefore, I am very cautious when crossing a field with cows on it, and avoid it when I can.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-80378108403574328322016-09-26T03:11:15.726+01:002016-09-26T03:11:15.726+01:00Is that Ringin Glow or Ringing Low?Is that Ringin Glow or Ringing Low?Jan Blawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697621979002856884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-73635913342819204832016-09-26T02:56:47.539+01:002016-09-26T02:56:47.539+01:00Wow...that's a great shot!
