Phoebe (right) and Margot (left) - picture taken today. It is not as easy as you might imagine to snap a decent picture of those two strong-willed sisters together. This one was the best I could come up with today.
I was with them and their mother Frances at Matlock Farm Park out in The Peak District. It is a countryside attraction developed with children in mind. There are pens for farm animals, a reptile house, a barn for small animals like rabbits and guineapigs, a huge trampoline, swings and slides and climbing frames. We also saw sheep racing and Phoebe got to ride on a horse called Boi. We also had our lunch there. It was a grand day out and the weather was kind to us.
Below - there's Phoebe on Boi and Margot back in the tractor cab and a highland cow refusing to storm the feeding station with her mates. After all, when it comes to dining, manners are important.
I'm amazed at how much Margot has grown since I last saw her here. I think the photo of the girls together is very good! It sounds like a delightful day.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy cow photos.
Well of course you enjoy cow photos being a farmer and all Kelly.
DeleteThose girls are so cute! I'm glad you all had a good day.
ReplyDeleteIt was Phoebe's last day out before her school journey begins. I hope she enjoys school and reaches her potential.
DeleteI believe that cow has an issue. She certainly has an attitude.
ReplyDeleteAs do those two little girls, I imagine. They are growing up so fast.
Maybe the cow uses a different hair conditioner from the others.
DeletePhoebe and Margot really do look so much alike! Not surprising, I suppose. :)
ReplyDeleteActually we never think of them like that. We see them as very different.
DeleteThat cow with her back turned is classic! Okay, he pictures of the young 'uns are good, too.
ReplyDeleteThese field trips are exciting for urban kids. You never forget the feeling of being on top of a horse.
ReplyDeleteI love the shaggy coats of Highland cows, but of course Phoebe and Margot are the stars of the show here.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same as Steve. The older Margot gets, the more she and Phoebe look like sisters. Of course you see them as very different, as they ARE very different in character from everything you tell us, but there is no denying that they are sisters - unlike my sister and I, who have never been looking alike even remotely.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the girls. How about we get to see you too occasionally Mr.P ?
ReplyDeleteSisters are doing it for themselves. (From a 1980s song)
ReplyDeleteYou can really see they're sisters! :)
ReplyDeleteA great fun day out for you and the girls! It looks as though Phoebe is getting in some practise for taking her driving test!
ReplyDeleteKids and Coos, how cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful day out!
ReplyDeleteThey say manners maketh man but perhaps they maketh cow, too???
ReplyDeleteCute picture of the girls with their bright smiles.
Your girls are cutie pies - I'm quite certain they are perfect little ladies always - flis xx
