Sheep in the garden

Got up this morning to find 5 of the next door neighbour's sheep in the front garden, much to the amusement of the guests in the cottage!

I didn't find it funny, although, fortunately there wasn't any damage done - just a bit of pruning!!

More signs of spring!


The daffodils are almost flowering.

The lapwings have returned - can hear their unmistakeable call.
