So much for a nice quite day working from home. When I went out to collect a package from the delivery man he asked "is that your field down next to the motorway" "Yes why?!" "The police have stopped all the traffic because there are 6 sheep on the road". To be fare they weren't even my sheep, they were a local farmers who was grazing them in one of our fields. Thankfully they were big slow texals and after cutting a quick hole in the fence they walked quietly back in. Could have been worse I suppose..

Oops! Thank goodness everything is OK, how had they got out?

Don't worry, it's not like it's the busiest road in Scotland or anything!

They managed to find a small gap away in the corner of the field behind trees and fallen branches. They were only meant to be in there a short time and I stupidly thought they wouldn't find it. I've learnt my lesson.

People say sheep are stupid, I don't think so!
