Simon. We enjoyed this – and the photos are super.
However,* a propos *your comment “My wife said I look like a gamekeeper”, a REAL gamekeeper would have a shotgun under one arm and a ferret under the other.
The shotgun would be to ward off anyone not practising social (physical) distancing, the ferret to nip those who don’t heed the warning.
Is the bull a Lincoln Red? John remembers them from the days in the 1960s when, as a student, he worked with the vets, Adam and Callum, MsRCVS, in Louth.
Greetings from our tiny garden in Norfolk. John has moved from his naturalist’s armchair to a folding seat just outside our front door. Small insects are revelling
in the sunshine along our privet hedge. They may be thankful for Covid-19 – at long last, global air pollution has dropped and fewer potentially toxic chemicals
are being sold and used.

Lovely photos, Simon, and I think you’ve hit on the solution to irresponsible citizens gambolling and picnicking in fields. That bull could free up a number of police for other duties.

I guess the bull would come under the Govt’s ‘whatever it takes’ strategy.
