My friend and church warden, Heather, asked me if I would provide some hay for the Xmas Crib service.  I thought she meant a bale or two but it seems that they only want a couple of carrier bagfuls.  Greedy old Beattie wouldn’t even want to part with a small helping of delicious hay even though all four cows are such messy eaters that lots of the hay ends up on the barn floor and is wasted!

Mabel watches as I fill the carrier bags
