On leaving the car, I was perturbed to feel a heavy raindrop splash off my beanie. Despite the grey clouds, it was not meant to rain this morning. I had taken the opportunity to take Skye on one of our favourite local walks. Although used to wet weather, having lived in the UK for my entire life, and Scotland for 10 years of it, this was less that ideal.
I do love the Highland cows, and the way the Scottish people pronounce it too! I live in regional Australia and on Thursday morning I came face to face with a juvenile wallaby, stuck in our backyard. He sat and watched me hang the washing on the line and then like you, I gently herded him out the back gate to freedom. I grew up on a farm and have experienced the gate frustration so many times...and I too dislike the feeling of a bloke watching you in the midst of it, even if it is just your Dad.
What a lovely story. I hope to read many more of them from you. Some of my favorite books are the "All Creatures Great and Small" series and this reminded me of the gentle stories of animals and the beauty of nature that thet told Thank you!.
We have highland cows in the farm at the end of our road, and they've always intrigued me. I just find them so beautiful! I've spent so much time leant against the fence just watching and admiring them
An unexpected encounter with Highland cows

How evocative! I almost feel like I am there. Sorry to hear about your gataphobia though.
Thanks for sharing such a lovely story Molly.💚
