Good pics James. I did not realise you had neighbours so close to you.
The Sheep are coming on well

Aye they piss us off
Grumpy old gits who moan when the sheep get into their gardens and eat all their flowers. They moan at everything. They lift the fence up at the field across the road, to get their dogs through instead of going over the style. There is an old victorian letter box built into a wall of the old farm house (the grey one). My old man hates the buggers in the house behind it, cos they lifted up our fence. Next time he wanted to post a letter he went and walked across their garden, through their house and out the front to post the letter

Just went straight through
Aye it's kind of crap, being so close to all the bloody neighbours. Always being watched...
The old farm house is amazing. About 400 years old. I ain't been in yet, but dad has and he says it even has the bells still working on the ceilings for the servants!
I discovered something interesting about our village of 20 houses... there used to be a hotel on the corner of the road, across from where we are. Apparently there was a murder there!
There was a ferry here that went across the Trent, and you still find things dug up that they dropped, money for example...

Nice pics of the fluffies and great video too. I felt like I was standing right there with Gimmer and Lamby!!! Thanks for sharing, looks like the water in the fields receded quickly...best for the livestock vs. standing in it.

Close to your neighbours? There's 5 inches of masonry between me and my neighbours....just as well we get on. The only problem is that the smell of their cooking makes me incredibly hungry - they're Pakistani.
Anyway, love the sheep Jimbo! What do you farm them for, just wool? Do you milk them as well? I love sheep's cheese!

Great pics James
This is going to sound really stupid, but apart from looking cute, those sheep look like they'd be really funny if they could talk.
Know what I mean? They have that look about them, that if they could talk, they would tell the funniest jokes.
Alright, I'll get my coat.

Wallace,
That makes two of us...I also thought that if they could talk, they would say something like "what are YOU looking at"?
We have a minature dachshund with a similar look on his face and I laugh every time he stares at me...yes, if they only could talk!!!

Loved that! I cared for someone’s pet sheep (bottle reared orphan) for a year. But a local breed – not much wool (because of heat) & long legs for negotiating our quite steep hills. Raised with dogs it thought it was a dog & would always turn around 2 or 3 times before lying down, sniff around under bushes & bound upstairs to sleep in bedrooms. Even climbed the mountain with my dogs & me, at gone midnight one year, when I wanted to see the solstice sunrise! I found it to be an extremely intelligent animal out of the flock.

Aye they are real funny sheep, I come home from school and both of the "Tuppy tups" (  ) were laid down at gate with there heads on each other
We don't farm them for nowt, right, a big fleece off a Longwool or any sheep for that matter is worth about £1. It's bloody awful!
