Hey, I gave you a go - and there really ARE two children and a cow! Are they yours? Looks very NZ to me (or possibly Oz?). I'm an old Waikato girl and I can pick a jersey a mile off.

A bit spooky though. I tried me and - apart from a very nice photo of a pied stilt INCLUDING feet - I found a reference to another site I use this name on, which took me through to a closed site obviously promoting dvds, which told me I did not have access. I have since written to the first site complaining bitterly ...

An interesting exercise.

Cheers,

Ros

There are many cows where I live - but I don't recognize that one - I wonder if it is an A2 Jersey? 

Only one child and he is 13.

A sharp peck should take care of the shadey dvd dealers.  ;D
