from nanaimo we made our way down to victoria. first stop was a visit to hart-lea grange to visit our very good friends cathy and gary, and their neighbours.
first we fed the neighbours some apples. this is one of the teenage cows, namely mini-me - he has the same markings as his mom - thus the name :)
and here's ruby....
and here is a photo of gary and mason going into the field to meet cath, and percy and peter (the six week old calves that their neighbour peg rescued from being veal).......i found out this weekend that calves are taken away from their mother as soon as they have been safely birthed... no mama's milk for them.. heaven forbid if they cut into the profits. cathy no longer eats beef and she tells me that learning this has also made her not want to drink milk or eat cheese ever again - i'm the same after i heard this. sometimes ignorance is bliss!
cows are luckier than us... they can stick their tongue up their nostrils, as demonstrated in the photo below!
gary and mason checking out the chicken coop....
and did i mention that hart-lea grange is also home to a bunch of neurotic cats... here is one of them...ninja......
