Sheep: These are Rachel's sheep, which have been away to be 'tupped' ie; impregnated for baby lambs in March/April. We think of sheep as foolish creatures, but somehow as I ate my breakfast with this sheep watching, I thought about how they are probably quite intelligent, I reversed our views;) I have a feeling that this creature was just marking her territory, grateful to be back on home ground with the sun on her back. she brought up some of her flock in the afternoon, and they gazed through a rather rickety fence at the church-yard and then turned their backs and contemplated their world.
All this because the news yesterday had sheep recognising people's faces, perhaps we will treat them more kindly not just for their lawn mowing habit or for the joint in the oven.
Lovely area and view for lunch. Lucky you! I think almost all animals are more intelligent than we give them credit for. I know...that end is a preposition.
ReplyDeleteWhen blogging, the tone of voice is often speech rather than writing, so I also end in a preposition sometimes. Our English teachers have long gone ;)
