The wine assumption has been slightly addressed of late - these days the Cow can tell white wine from red, mainly by holding her glass up to the light and staring at the colour. The overseas travel issue, however, has been resolved more fully. Of late, the Cow has done some travelling - and crossed the pond twice, with a third trip to follow, all within the space of a year.
Which has left the Nipple Owner rather non-plussed. A migratory Cow resonates with his expectation; a Cow who was until last year completely non-migratory shook his universe, like the flightless American.
Gramsci found it all rather amusing. Watching the Cow pine for the green green grass on the banks of the Greta, he shook his head sadly. "Perhaps," he suggested, "sprouting some wings might be the answer?"
