Cows that grazed in the fields behind Peter’s family home in Colwall inspired these two Jersey cows. The mouse is located at the base by the milk cans. The sign to Colwall Church refers to Peter’s planned wedding to Andrea in September 1995. Inscribed on the upright of the fence is “PC loves MX5,” which refers to the Mazda sports cars that Peter loves. The tag hanging on the ear with “47” should have been a “48” for the address of a house Peter and Andrea were considering purchasing. Hallmarks include apple, clock face with month 8, HBC logo, and snake/staff for PC.
