However, I soon became unhappy after taking this photo, as I had to YET AGAIN divert from the public footpath due to a slobbering bull, and for 'safety' reasons, had to climb over a barbed wire fence and trudge my way back to the car through yards of thistles and nettles. What`s worse is that I slashed my suit trousers on one of the barbs, so my evening ended up with me cursing............... |
