Curiousity ! What symbology does the cow over the fireplace have ? Are you in the dairy business or is it or was it, a special mascot ?

Thank you and Merry Christmas ..

I think you have replied to the wrong person Francesca. It is @epicuric that has the cow's head above the fireplace.

Thank you for clearing that up I was starting to get a bit worried

Hardly anyone in my street has a tree, artificial or otherwise. I doubt whether my daughter will have one either. She recently bought a puppy.....

Thank you Ladies for the compliment on my Office Xmas Tree. Quite extraordinary ! Every year we do a Raffle for a tiny gift under 5 - 7 Euros and decorate the Tree and have a few tapas and some Cava Sant Sadourni d´ Anoia, Barcelona Sparkling Wines (or beer for those who prefer ) ..

Happy New Year to all ..

Here’s my G&T tree. It’s got lots of gin bottles, glitter balls, ‘ice’ and is topped with an Audrey Hepburn angel.

That is Henrietta Holstein. Both my wife and I are from farming families,and my wife used to work in dairy nutrition (as in for dairy cows). Plus it freaks out new visitors - it is in the hallway, and stares directly at you when you come in through the front door. I keep promising to fit some remote controlled LED lights to the eyes for added spookery.

I must have missed the photo of Henrietta, but I bet she's beautiful and the spooky eyes will be a sight to see.

One of my Dad's sister married a dairy farmer, and they had farms at various times in Surrey, Hampshire and Essex. Some of my cousins and their children carried on the tradition but I don't know whether they have their own farms now. One cousin moved to North Devon and carried on as a farmer until quite recently. He sold out when he retired from farming, but apparently he had a part time job as a rep for a farm machinery company afterwards.
