Recently we’ve been going out on our bikes for a short time on sunny days, to get some exercise.

Here’s a photo of Abigail and Daddy on/with their bike.

We usually go out along the pavement until we reach the shared use cycle path heading along the old road towards Maryburgh. We ride slowly and carefully.

The first time we went we heard the cows at the Auction Mart as we cycled by. Abigail has been able to respond appropriately to the questions “What does a sheep say?” and “What does a cow say?” for a couple of weeks now, so it was exciting for her to see (and in the case of cows, hear) the real thing. However the noisy cows were hidden from view. Well, the last time we went, as soon as she got to Pitglassie Farm (which is a couple of hundred yards before the Auction Mart), she started saying Moo of her own accord, and she did the same today, so Mummy and Daddy took her into the Auction to see the cows being sold. There’s a viewing gallery upstairs where the view is like this:

The cows were pretty quiet in the ring, though the auctioneer (with loudspeaker) was very noisy. Abigail doesn’t mind this, she’s been known to fall asleep in furniture auctions.

Then we went through to the other gallery, where we could see the pens, and the cattle going in to and coming out of the ring. Here the view is a bit like this (though there were cows in more of the pens than in this picture):

Here the cows were very noisy, and some said Moo very distinctly, which Abigail enjoyed. So all in all she had an interesting ten minutes, and when she left the building said Moo appreciatively.
