Moo!

This morning, the weather was bright, sunny and unseasonably warm, so we set out for a slightly longer walk, taking in Slack Lane, Mapperley Village and Shipley Hill.  The walk along Slack Lane gave us some smashing views, both along the lane itself...

... and across the fields, towards Shipley Hill and the wonderful autumnal colours there.

As we approached Mapperley Village, we were being scrutinised by a mixed herd of cattle which were all laying down, taking it easy in the sunshine.

The little one in the foreground was particularly photogenic and kind enough to allow me to take his photo.  I think he was too chilled to be bothered to move!  All very lovely and what a treat, to have this sort of weather during the last few days of October.
