  1. http://news.sky.com/story/1679046/mother-killed-by-cow-did-not-stand-a-chance This article reminded me of the number of deaths that occur most years, when people walk through farm land, without understanding the dangers. Cows, particularly with young calves will be quite protective and if you walk through their field, even on a footpath, you might be at risk of injury. I regularly walk through fields containing Cows and sheep, so am use to reading their behaviour. With cows, they can have calves at any time of the year, but at this time of the year there will be more. If the Cows see you entering the field and the herd becomes suddenly alert heading in your direction, it is best if you take a quick exit. If the cows are mostly relaxed eating grass, they probably won't bother you, but do keep safe distance particularly if you have a dog. If you have a dog and cows approach, you should make a quick exit or at least let the dog off a lead. Cows may attack people with dogs, as they see the dog as a threat. If you are in the middle of a field and cows approach, don't assume you will be attacked. Cows are very inquisitive and they will approach you sometimes, probably to see if you have food. Just calmly walk to the nearest exit and don't run away or shout. I have been surrounded by herds of cows on a number of occasions and it is quite intimidating. They will come to within about 10 feet and even circle around you. If you calmly just continue your walk at a slow pace, they will probably just follow you to where you exit the field. If you have a dog, let it off the lead in this situation. Best not to walk with dogs in fields with farm animals, unless you know the farm and the animals. With sheep, they don't represent any danger, but they are very nervous animals, so do not walk too close to them and dogs must be kept on a lead. Locally a farmer has lost a number of sheep due to dog attacks. They literally get worried to death. Enjoy the countryside, but do think about your safety and that of the animals. There is plenty of information about safety online, so do look at that.
  2. Have a look at these video clips on YouTube. They say everything about Countryside Properties. Simply brilliant! Has anyone had similar problems with them?
  3. Hello I have received a parking ticket headed Northamptonshire council but from the country side services department. They are giving 7 days notice intention to instigate legal proceedings through county court. It's for a parking offence in one of the country parks. Is this anything to worry about ? I take it they don't have the same powers as normal council street parking offences? Payment via cheque only plus sending copy of letter sent!!!!!! Thanks
