2019

• 9/2/2019. At an Aquarius weekend in Somerset a group of “not yet cows” gather, after reading H.G. Wells & improvising a blues song, the term “MOONCOW” is coined.

“A crackling and smashing of the scrub appeared to be advancing directly upon us, and then, as we squatted close and endeavoured to judge of the nearness and direction of this noise, there came a terrific bellow behind us, so close and vehement that the tops of the bayonet scrub bent before it, and one felt the breath of it hot and moist. And, turning about, we saw indistinctly through a crowd of swaying stems the mooncalf’s shining sides, and the long line of its back loomed out against the sky.”
