Why would you move to the middle of farmland if you are scared of farm animals?

I live in the countryside, surrounded by fields and until recently my nearest neighbour was a distant speck.
There was a derelict house that has been bought and renovated and I met my new neighbours yesterday. There's a big field between our houses and they asked was it used for animals. I said yes in the spring it usually has cows and calves in it. The husband said There better not be because he and their children are terrified of cows and big animals and can just about cope with hearing my donkeys.

Why on earth would you choose to move here then?

Ah - he's turning OP, he's turning!

Glad his kids are on board - that'll definitely help.

Thanks to your DH for the seal rescues. We called one in on holiday in Norfolk a couple of years ago - young seal on the beach near our holiday cottage seemed pretty poorly and alone. They came and rescued him/her.

Norfolk seemed to still have a lot of honesty boxes for people's chicken eggs too.

Compared to my part of the country it was delightfully nostalgic!
