We were all set to have a wonderful holiday. all the family. We were all meeting up in Bristol to go to The Wave. Christmas present for us all. We received a terrible phone call. My daughter Susan was in Lindisfarne and coming to Bristol from there. She was crossing a public footpath through a field when cows she had not seen, as they were behind a hill, galloped up behind her and knocked her over and trampled on her. She was badly hurt but managed to somehow escape out of the field and crawl to a nearby house and just said help me please. The couple at the house did and she went to hospital. She was amazingly lucky not to have been killed. Her rucksack saved her from spinal injuries and very fortunately she had no broken bones but was covered in bruises and in pain. She was very brave but very shaken. Still not right but getting there. You can imagine the state we were all in hearing the news. This is not a one off occurrence as cow attacks are frequent. Susan was taken by complete surprise and could no nothing to defend herself. Made us all wonder if it is because cows do not have human company. Some are milked in the field no one touching them as they are automatically fed and milked now. They see humans as strange or are a threat to them. What a horrible shock for everyone involved.
Crimple p/a for music into the early hours. There has been a number of objections as the music will be heard by a number of houses.So we shall wait and see what NYC do and hopeful the right decision will be made. Anyone ever had three appliances break down on the same day? Washing machine, cooker and fridge. I have replaced washing machine. New cooker being delivered tomorrow. Fridge will have to wait as it works a bit.
Not a cheerful blog this time. Nor a long one as I am/was a bit shaken over Susan's accident and what might have been.
My thoughts are with you ,hopefully in time all will be well .
