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.
