Ali, such a shame no-one was around to take a photo of your ordeal :) Well done saving the calf though; not many people would have had a clue what to do, including me.

Ceilidh's video worked for me now, looks like she was having a great time running and rolling in that snow. Brodie's yet to experience snow. He's struggling a bit with the fireworks which isn't like him as nothing much seems to upset him but he keeps going into guard dog barking mode. We've spent the last hour playing hide and seek to distract him from them which seems to work.

Karen, the kitchen's in our French home. We already had a kitchen but it was too small and on the first floor. This new one is bigger (room was originally a library) and on the ground floor and has double French doors opening out onto a raised terrace, so much more pratical for outdoor eating and drinking :)
