Today’s shenanigans

Tweet

We are house-sitting and part of the job description includes keeping an eye on small mob of ewes and lambs. I woke up this morning to hear a ewe and lamb calling back and forth. Two hours later, they were still at it so we walked up to see if something was wrong. Sure enough, the lamb had managed to get through to the next paddock. The problem was – how to get it back. These are the sheep that won’t take no for an answer so simply opening a gate wide for the lamb was fraught with difficulties. The problem was compounded by two horses hanging over the fence near the gate taking a very keen interest in proceedings. After half an hour of to-ing and fro-ing, we got the lamb back with its relieved mother. The folks get home about 6pm tomorrow. Let’s hope we have a very boring, dull day until then.
