Cows head site
Whilst doing more of mein master, El patron's bidding I took four new photos.
Here is the first.
Now this rather pathetic effort at a rockery is, for some odd reason located rather haphazardly on the left side of Hazeldene Ave at the end of GunnerstonGrove as you drive down, up on the bank.
I spotted it and suddenly remember another memory from childhood days strangely enough probably on the exact spot.
I remember one morning we were out on our bikes and at this spot there apperared to be 2 or 3 cows buried up to their necks with only their heads showing. On closer inspection there was a fourth 'head' on its side with no body attached-presumably someone had killed the cows to sell the meat and dumped the heads as they drove past-A pretty horrific rather than hilarious sight. The police came and the heads of the poor cows were removed...
I can remember a headless cat near there, but it had probably just been run over.
ReplyDeletemaybe not...there was a chap on the estate nicknamed'morbid skullhead' He used to collect animal skulls and had a box with skulls in, all labelled,like 'blackbird' 'thrush''mouse' 'rat' etc...one time during the icy cold winters we used to have he came across a frozen cat down the fields, not far from the cows head site(we were down there keeping the fire burning from bonfire night)anyway 'morbsa' as he was known found the frozen dead cat. He was full of the joys of and rushed home and returned with...his axe. He chopped off the head of the dead frozen cat, then buried it in his garden and after a few months of leaving the maggots to do their work exhumed the trophy...soon a cat skull took pride of place in his box with the label'cat'underneath it...
