Gabi went to check on the sheep this morning after a night of torrential rain, Our ram Colin was very distressed and shouting for help after he had gone into the the wood to shelter and got stranded. to get into the bit of woodland he had to cross the brook, normally only a foot wide, then the little stream turned into a raging torrent, we rang all our neighbours to try and get someone to help drag him back as Gabi didn't want to get stuck as well.
One neighbour had just left to go to Cardiff, another was off sheering up country, two more didn't answer the phone, eventually we got hold of Lucy from 2 holdings away , she had to leave her car and wade through 18 inches of water on our track to get to us, so the girls set off to rescue Colin.....only to find that the old fraud had jumped back on his own over 8 feet of fast water.
Bloody sheep , don't you just love em.
