Well, I'm back again.

A levels are striking fairly hard, and I'm already regretting taking physics!

Last thursday, the 1st October, was Lincolnshire day! On the thursday I did an assembly to the school about Lincolnshire, and how great it is. On friday... I took some sheep into school. It was a funny sight, and it was strange to think my sheep were grazing the front lawns of one of the best grammar schools in the country.

The local press came down and took some photos for next week's newspaper, and I got a few myself.

On the 7th November, there's a big tractor rally at Newark. The Marshall's getting sprayed up so it can be shown, and since they're appealing for rare breed animals to go, I thought I'd take some Lincoln sheep! As well as this, they want people to do talks, dress in period clothes and all that sort of thing. So, for the three days I'll be there, I'm going to be sleeping and living in a shepherd's hut with my dog!! I'm only borrowing it, as the living van of mine is now under construction proper. Fetching the hut next weekend!

Great stuff!

Haha, I do look a bit of a pimp. That's maybe because I am a pimp
