Today, as usual on an English bank holiday, it is wet. I am feeling sorry for all the church and village fetes which are being held today. Many of these fetes are the major fundraising event in the village with funds being used to assist in keeping a church or village hall in full repair or helping a village organisation to pay bills and therefore to continue their work.
Looking back on photographs taken in June I found a sunny one of a lamb and her mother on the lawn having escaped their field. Not long afterwards another three escapees joined them. I chased them all off the lawn and back down the drive a couple of times, but gave up as they kept coming back. Eventually they went off.
These sheep are left in the field to fend for themselves and give birth outside. They are not sheared as the wool naturally breaks off. This gives them a very funny look at times with wool partially hanging off and wool in the field and hanging on the fences
I've come to visit your blog now. Apart from the fact that they might eat everything in their path, those sheep are very cute lawn ornaments. -Jenn
