Yes, I'm finally coming around to catch up on blogs!<br /><br />I don't remember seeing any painted cows -- though I've seen colours on sheep in the UK before (not the whole sheep, just big splotches on their wool to mark them as part of one herd or another) -- but yes, many of them had big flower-y hats!Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-79694995634313271992015-11-16T14:40:14.341-05:002015-11-16T14:40:14.341-05:00I love that they made a festival out of something ...I love that they made a festival out of something so ordinary and necessary as moving the cows. <br /><br />Your daughter is so, so cute!

I like the sound of "Remembrance Day" but I suppose in the US our "Remembrance Day" is Memorial Day when we remember those who died verses Veteran Day where we remember all soldiers. sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-78814457956451917992015-11-12T15:15:59.493-05:002015-11-12T15:15:59.493-05:00I love these pics and the strong taste of local fl...I love these pics and the strong taste of local flavor!

We do pageantry, tradition and culture probably better than most.<br /><br />We've had some Remembrance Services for our fallen etc ... it always brings out the nostalgia in me ... <br /><br />Poor Emily - the noise of those bells must have been l-o-u-d ... but she can now throw her cows out of the window I see!<br /><br />Enjoy your village setting .. especially when the real winter comes - that will be lovely to see .. though you're used to that - coming from Canada.<br /><br />Lovely photos - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-37845996412908939682015-11-11T09:52:44.722-05:002015-11-11T09:52:44.722-05:00I love the tradition behind this!
