Welsh Field Cows

A small herd of black-and-white cattle graze in the middle of the narrow Welsh lane, their bulk forming an impromptu roadblock that halts the Doctor’s vehicle without warning. Their placid chewing contrasts with the vehicle’s sudden stop, their horns catching stray beams of sunlight as they shift their weight, indifferent to the urgency unfolding around them.
