On my way today to get the Christmas Tree - two things occurred to me after encountering this chap/chapess? 1) Getting the Christmas Tree use to to be a family event, now I am just despatched to get it - I suppose they have grown up and can't be asked to get out of bed!
2) When you can't see the eyes, how expressionless a creature or person is. I really like the Highland Coos but they look so inanimate. This one spent ten minutes trying to ignore me, facing away. Next time I am getting in the field, then I expect I might see some action!!!
