feeding frenzy

Preparing a bale of hay for the newly weaned calves, all strings are tied together then all the ravenous beasts are let out...
Not every calf is a mere follower of the herd and one heifer gets a good idea...
And has a go at eating from a different angle - no competition up here. She will probably grow up to be the cow who knows how to open gates too.

bus ride

A nasty foggy freezing day in December before Christmas in the UK. No snow for a "White Christmas" though.

This is freezing fog build up on the mirror

Just another passenger, don't know if he had to pay.

banana withdrawal

All these bananas (3 lb/1.3kg/9) for a mere $2.50. They came from Brazil and I bought them at Daventry Friday Market.
A fruit and veg stall at Daventry Friday Market
and the weather was like this...definitely dank - foggy and frosty but no snow.
