4 Collection James Herriot became famous throughout the world for his books that captured the essence of life in England s Yorkshire Dales in the 1930s and 40s, and our wonderful range of figurines and home accessories are all inspired by memorable characters and humorous scenes from the tales of the world s favourite vet. James Herriot. A26104 Double Rations Height: 14.5cm Proud as punch with the latest additions to his farm, our farmer has bought two new prize South Country Cheviot ewes and, because they are in lamb, he is giving them double rations. A27073/A27298 Every Last Drop! Height: 13.5cm Available in two colourways: Friesian and Ayrshire this figurine depicts two dairy calves who have knocked over their bucket of milk and are joined by the farm cat who is helping to lick up every last drop. A27072 Three Little Piggies Height: 6.5cm Our delightful figurine features three adorable little piglets who have recently been bought at the local market and are now happily settling into their comfy new home. A20873 Farm Accounts Most farmers would agree that bookkeeping isn t usually very high on their list of priorities, time is in such short supply without there being so much red tape to get tied up in not so for this cheeky character, however! A9806 Not To Our Taste Now, we all know that one of the best ways to make new friends is to invite them over for a meal, however, it pays to do a little research beforehand, as sometimes your guests might be forced to say it s not to our taste. A21553 Caruso Height: 15.0cm As the farmyard comes alive with the riotous sound of numerous dawn choruses, our Caruso is doing his very own rendition of Giuseppe Verdi s Anvil Chorus whilst the hens peck along in time. 4

5 A21863 In For Lunch Height: 7.0cm Having spotted the fox, the cockerel is rounding the chickens into their nesting box to make sure that they are out of harm s way. Out of luck, as they are in for lunch, the fox will soon be on his way. A22061 What News? (Yellow) Well, if there was anything worth reading in the paper, then there isn t so much as a scrap of evidence left, since this playful little Labrador decided to try and digest the latest current affairs before his master has read it. News? What news?! A22193 Warm Welcome Height: 16.0cm If you thought scarecrows were suppose to be scary, then think again, because this one is anything but, and has become a cosy retreat for a family of foxes safely tucked away underneath the long green coat. A22576 Ladies First Life on the farm never changes, and old customs are still adhered to. Take this scene for example, where the dashing cockerel prides himself on his perfect mealtime manners by standing back for his harem as if to say ladies first. A22942 Venturing Out Height: 13.0cm Venturing out for the first time, these curious little piglets are making good use of the small gateway they have just discovered to see what s on the outside of their sty. The farm cat, however, has decided on an alternative route. A22195 Two s a Crowd Height: 15.0cm Offering a vital source of water for all and a meeting place for many, this delightful cast iron pump has attracted the attention of two pigs, however, on this occasion space is rather limited and that means two s a crowd. A23800 Baby Talk (Brown & White) They may still be a little bit wobbly on their legs, but that doesn t stop this adorable pair of calves from getting to know one another all it takes is a bit of patience and a slight turn of the ear. A22943 Can I Join In? Height: 11.0cm Sometimes having a front row view isn t all it s cracked up to be, especially when it s for such an action-packed live show as this. As the drama unfolds before its eyes, this young calf can t help but think: Can I join in? A23321 Brotherly Love Height: 6.0cm These twin lambs are happy to stay close to each other while the world is still so new to them, but they are quickly learning that being a pair means twice as much fun when there s someone by your side. 5

6 A23525 Lunch Box Height: 6.5cm Oh dear! Mistakes often happen, but this one will have a disastrous, albeit rather comical, result. Someone s Sunday roast is going to suffer because the delivery of the weekly vegetable box has unfortunately been mistaken for the hungry piglets lunch box. A25073 Bertha & Moses Moses for his part appeared to find the society of the pigs very congenial. When the piglets curled up together and settled down for a sleep Moses would be somewhere in the heap and when his young colleagues were weaned at eight weeks he showed his attachment to Bertha by spending most of his time with her. A25070 Herbert & Mum Height: 11.0cm Look Rob cried. There s that awd ewe with Herbert. Over there on t right in the middle of that bunch. They all looked the same to me but to Rob, like all shepherds, they were as different as people and he picked out these two effortlessly. A25076 Sweet Dreams Height: 8.5cm As usual, Alfred appeared to be taking an interest in the daily activities in Geoff s sweet shop, his expression implied he almost had an understanding of the proceedings and, now and then, a customer would stroke his cheek and he would respond with a booming purr. A25069 In All Weathers Height: 10.0cm He shook the last of the snow from his coat, pranced jerkily up to the farmer and gave a couple of reedy barks. Peter Trenholm laughed. You see he s ready to be off he s a beggar for work is Tip. He led the way towards the buildings and I followed, stumbling over the frozen ruts A25088 The Chase, Jock Height: 10.5cm When the pups arrived Jock watched indulgently as they tried to follow him in his pursuit of my vehicle and you could almost see him laughing as they fell over their feet and were left trailing far behind. A25089 Mr Clark s Calves Height: 6.0cm Walking through the deep straw and looking down at the outstretched little animals each in his rough sack jacket, I swore softly to myself. Well you don t look very opeful, young man. Mr Clark s head and shoulders loomed over the half door. A27120 Cosy Warm (Black)/A25091 Cosy Warm (Yellow) Height: 17.5cm The faithful Labrador enjoys nothing better than a good walk with his master, but by far the best part is sitting in front of the Aga when they get home. The cat has to agree there s simply nothing as good as that cosy warm feeling. 6

7 A25090 Home Sweet Home, Blossom Height: 13.0cm Off ye go, awd lass, said Farmer Dakin. She s stood in that stall for twelve years and given me thousands of gallons of milk. But, old Blossom was destined for the fatstock market but she had other plans! A25152 There s Nowt Like a Drought Height: 12.0cm Away from the farm pond, the ducks found the other sources of water of interest, especially during a long dry summer. During one such period, resorting to a drink at the tap was a welcome refresher. A25151 Best of British, Monty Height: 16.0cm Monty had changed a lot since the first day I saw him about two years ago. He had been a fortnight old then, a skinny, knock-kneed little creature, his head deep in a calf bucket He s got prize winners on both his sire and dam s side, the young farmer said. And a grand pedigree name, too. Newton Montmorency the Sixth Monty for short. A25155 That s a Rum un Height: 6.0cm Gyp was always a mischievous pup and whenever something went missing, he was sure to be the culprit. Well if the shoe fits or in this case, the boot! as this time he s been caught right in the act of chewing one the farmer s boots! A25662 Ride Out Height: 15.0cm Enjoying the sunshine and the lush green fields, the girl and her pony ride out and explore, two as one, looking after each other as they wander through the fields, along tracks and into the woodland of the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. A25156 A Barrel o Bother The tiny animals would begin to glance sideways till their urge to find out what their mates were enjoying so much became unbearable; they would start to change position frantically, climbing over each other s backs and falling into the swill. A25876 Ready For Home Height: 11.5cm It s been a fun day at the local gymkhana and now it s time to go. After removing the plaits from her pony s mane, leaving it with curls for a while, followed by a relaxing brush down and a whisper in his ear they are finally ready for home. A25660 Patience Height: 7.5cm The pair of collies is well trained and well used to being told to stay put while the shepherd is busy and, although they show great interest and a keenness to get involved, they obediently remain steady, showing great patience. A25157 First Footing Height: 11.5cm The mare is tentatively watching her foal as it attempts to stand and take its first steps. A young foal being born was always to be first footed by everyone on the farm, old and young alike. 7

8 A26107 Double Jeopardy Height : 10.0cm Startled by the farm collie that is keen to get to their food, the hens take flight; but they aren t aware of the double jeopardy that lies ahead in the form of the farm cat lying in wait behind the barrel. A26261 Tasty Tatties Height: 5.0cm Always the opportunist where food is concerned, the Gloucester Old Spot sow and her three little piglets have found heaven pig heaven that is! They have gatecrashed the potato picking and, so far, their foray has not been detected oh, those tasty tatties! A26105 That s My Mam (Light Sussex)/ A26872 That s My Mam (Rhode Island Red) Height: 7.0cm Returning from its first exploration, this young chick is very surprised to discover that another youngster has taken his cosy place in the warmth of his mum s feathers and is quick to let the cheeky duckling interloper know that: that s my mam. A26102 Spring Encounter (White)/ A27051 Spring Encounter (Black) Height: 4.5cm Newborn lambs are always inquisitive and this little one has only just begun to explore its surroundings. Sitting on a twig amongst a clump of pretty yellow primroses, the field mouse is the first of many spring encounters it will be having. A25086 Tristan s Tearaways Height: 11.5cm the hens had clearly grown tired of life under Tristan and decided they would do better living off the country. They became nomads, ranging further afield in their search for sustenance. A26103 Morning Encounter (Black & White)/ A26877 Morning Encounter (Brown & White) When the young calves are let out into the pastures they just love to explore every corner of the field, so, it is little surprise that they will come across other inquisitive youngsters, like the fox club in this morning encounter. 8 A21857 Pastimes Clock Height: 35.0cm 1x AA Battery Required This cheery clock will brighten up any wall in any room. Spring is in the air down on the farm, and meeting up at the farmyard wall with bright red post-box built into it, is a favourite pastime of these chickens.
