I opened the curtains this morning, and looked into the faces of 2 sheep. The rest of the flock were looking for anything edible all over the garden! Two were standing in the middle of a flower bed.
I decided not to respond to my first reaction to get out there and chase them out, in case they caused an accident running onto the road.
There was a hard frost so I hoped they wouldn't do much damage to the lawns.
Called police, and as I was speaking, the flock paraded past me, on to the front garden.
Next door neighbour helped me to shepherd
them into the yard in front of a field where they had broken out from. Workmen were at the house and had left the gates open.
I learned that the house is to be demolished next week. Its a landmark here - very disappointed.
