And here they are -

This is one of the vintage pantechnicons on display at this year's Surrey County Show. It belongs to Specialised Movers who are based in Sheffield - a birthday present to the firm's owner from his wife!

And meerkat friends

Merely a meerkat

Small, medium and large

The sheep with the crumpled horn - 

 with apologies to 'The House that Jack Built'

This is the farmer sowing his corn

That kept the cock that crowed in the morn

That woke the priest all shaven and shorn

That married the man all tattered and torn

That kissed the maiden all forlorn

That milked the cow with the crumpled horn

That tossed the dog that worried the cat

That killed the rat that ate the malt

That lay in the house that Jack built.

The Spotted Sow

How now, Brown Cow?
