Talking to cows – one aspect of cycling down narrow lanes ! And an interesting aside after teatime, not before, it was so terribly hot, off came their collars and ties. Blimey – it must have been hot. I am glad we never had to wear collars and ties when I started cycling in the 1950’s.
One other thing I can confirm the accuracy of Charlie’s observational skills, when he says “Nobody can appreciate the beauties of the bylanes in Cheshire until they have seen them”. Correct.
