I don't have any sheep now, no. I'm glad really - I sold all mine before the last outbreak of foot and mouth, which was a nightmare :eek:

It was bad around here as it was everywhere. There were so many flocks that were completely destroyed.

I imagine you would have been like that farmer who kept all their sheep in their farmhouse during the crisis, can still remember the pictures.

Luckily, it skirted round where I had my land - so none of my friends had to have their flocks destroyed. I met many people at the markets who had lost all their animals though. Some feared their beloved dogs would have to be killed too. You're quite right though - I'd have kept mine in the house!

Did you eat any of the ones you bred? Like Hugh from Riverside Cottage.

I'm afraid I did. None that I'd hand-fed though :eek:

No bonnet! Just a couple of leg sticks, a couple of neck sticks and a posh handmade crook for posing at markets.

I wish! That view belongs to the Lord of the Manor round here!
