Dear Ewan,

It’s obvious! Forget the wigwam to wind up the moon. What you need is a cow. We know that the right cow can jump over the moon. Well if it can jump over the moon it can darn well stick about and wind it. I’m sending you a miniature cow I have painted to give you an idea of how this might work.

And just to confirm the link between cows and the planets next time you are at the Observatory look around. There’s usually a cow grazing on the land.
