"Lovely to see. The pathway was surrounded by a number of cows and donkeys. They are not harmful unless you over do it. I went close to one cow maybe a less friendly one as it gave me a look put its head down and started twisting it and walking towards me, so l stood still, stopped walking towards it and went back to the car😅"
