Lady
Dufferin, The Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava who lives on Clandeboye Estate is
well know in agricultural circles, for her award-winning herd of Holstein,
Jersey and Moiled cows.
It’s
no surprise that Willow, Cecilia, Mabel and the other pampered girls at the
historic Clandeboye Estate produce vast amounts of deliciously creamy milk that
is used to produce Northern Ireland’s only locally made cows’ milk yoghurt.
I
eventually arrived back in the Courtyard and think this cane work is a horse
perhaps but was really drawn to this lady below.
This
man was showing a young person this skunk skin and the man in the last shot was making soda bread and he gave me one hot off the griddle to eat and it was delicious.
I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for visiting.
I am linking it with SATURDAY CRITTERS.
MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO LEAVE COMMENTS.

ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, lovely selection of critters today. Those three bovine ladies certainly look pampered. I love the cane work; I would have been drawn to the lady sculpture as well. I remember making soda bread when I was newly wed; think I'll try it again. Have a great day. Jo

ReplyDeleteThe first cane figure looks like Eeyore, the donkey from the Winnie the Pooh stories.
Have a great week-end!
