On Saturday during a drive in the countryside I saw a black lamb.(I have a soft stop for the black lambs)I said out loud."I should like a lamb"daughter put it down to Mothers being jokey.
So on Sunday afternoon when I heard a bleating at my back door I went out.There was a grown sheep there.Very tame.
I phoned the only person I know who has exotic breeds of domestic animals.He came for it.It had escaped from his land and chosen my garden to visit in.
Did I laugh? YES.
I have been here for forty years and thats a first!
Thing is I felt deeply I would like to touch a lamb .A reminder of days past when an Uncle was a farmer...
So girls.
Moral...be careful what you wish for.

Oh, Mountain, what a surprise! I am glad you found the owner and did not have to end up raising the poor thing.

Are you raising good eats in your garden?

Years ago....I got tired of cutting a long hedge on our road boundery.So.....I said I would like a wall....next month the authorities appoached us about road widening ...took 50 meters stip made a footpath(long overdue) built a wall replaced plants lost And gave us fifty pounds.Not a lot but a token. Spooky...
Mountain ash.

By the way.The plants replaced were of my choosing.The man they sent was also a gardener and advised me.

Sounds like it worked out for everyone. Do you garden much?
