That was a grumpy neighbour Sally! As if a few stray Castlemilks would hurt his dairy grass 

To be fair, I'd just let rip into them for driving their sheep past Meg's ark...   Don't worry, they're fabulous neighbours, we're great friends.  And their fattening lambs frequently find ways onto our less hard-worked ground, as he well knows!

the record so far this year among my friends for buying more than intended goes to my friend David who went to the Hill Radnor sale on Saturday to buy a ram and came back with 2 rams and 4 ewes declaring it was a shame to take a trailer that far for one animal.

BH's favourite excuse, that one, too.

And the other thing I've learned to interpret : "We'll just go and see it sold", means, of course, it's coming home with us (unless it's very dear.)

My OH Allen has learnt 'I just want to go for a look' actually means 'I'm going to add a couple to the flock' - he's very understanding
