A sad morning today (though a less foggy day, as you can see from the photo), as we said goodbye to Connie the Cow. I know she’s going to a better place, where she’s going to star in panto and feature in educational units about fairy tales, but it’s the end of an era.
She’s been a group effort over the years. Julia drew her, John the Builder cut her out of ply, Dave made the udders, we all painted her (several times) and today we dismantled her and put her in the back of the car.
It was a mixed morning, as we were given a book of drawings and letters of thanks from the kids who came out on the last school trip (which just goes to show we’ve chosen a good home for Connie).
On a brighter note, the teacher who collected her showed us pictures of a Kingfisher on her phone. She’d been up to Rufford Park and on a bridge within yards of where I took the Marsh tit photo she saw a Kingfisher.
It’s slightly annoying that we missed the Kingfisher, but I’m looking forwards to looking for it on the return trip.
There’s always something good around the corner.
A sad day 🙁 but at least she will continue to be appreciated.
Yes, she’s gone to a good home.
Poignant
Sorry to see her go, but that’s life.
I’m happy she’ll continue to have an impact on people.
Yes, she’s going to be busy…
Farewell Connie – I hope you enjoy your new life!
It sounds like they have a busy life planned for her!
hopefully she’ll earn her keep… wooden silage doesn’t come cheap!
