A childhood memory of mine that always makes me smile whenever I remember it, was of a family trip to one of the reservoirs near where we used to live.
We used to take a walk around the reservoir after sunday lunch and on this occasion, our neighbours had joined us. I remember my next door neighbour carrying a bag full of snacks. Which inevitably led to him being chased by a couple of Rams. I remember laughing a lot.
It is now that I think Karma can be quite the b@%*&... (excuse my French)...
Today was a stretch the legs, till they are ready to fall off, kind of a day. We did a massive hike around the mountains of Geiranger, led by the brother-in-law.
He did well. We made it up and down safely and in the time frame we had.
Halfway up the mountain was an area where Lambs, Sheep and Goats were grazing. I was almost at the gate to enter another area when I heard bells jangling. I turned to see where the noise was coming from and the picture below was what I saw...
My initial thought was that they were running towards something behind me. It wasn't until they were approaching me that I realised that they were aiming for me. The flee or fight response kicked in.
What to do, what to do.
I ended up staying in place and got nuzzled by the animals. Particularly the coat wrapped around my waist. Luckily it wasn't mine. Hehe. Sorry Ala.
