Cows' Health is Important

Superbe cowstamp sent by Ângela! I really like stamps from Portugal. They look very modern.

Letter from Portugal

Sent by Ângela (Portugal)

It is impossible not to like this colourful letter!

She saw this picture he took in the Algarve (Portugal) during her last holidays and she had the good idea of making a postcard for the project.

The funny thing is... I took a picture of this very cow myself last year! (Sorry: I can't show it here because my husband appears on it, and he doesn't like to be associated with cows).

This cowcover made me smile... What a intelligent way to use the back of the VQR labels! :)

(Happily my name is short. Otherwise Ângela had be obliged to eat a lot of cheese!)

Vacha'lauréat

These letters appear sometimes in the back of the cheese labels. When that happen, you find a card with questions inside the box. So, this is the game: you must answer the question with a word beginning with the letter you have got in your portion. And I guess that if you fail, you feel like eating another triangle...

The name of the game in French is Vacha'lauréat, a word game with the words vache ('cow') and baccalauréat that means: 'categories (game)' and also 'baccalaureate'. But in Belgium they use another name for the game: La course aux meuhs.

I have found/received so far cards in different languages and shapes. It is amazing to check the differences!
