Mystery sheep

I came out of the front door last night and saw a car sitting just in sight on the road, where there is no need to stop. I ambled towards the road and there was a certain amount of shouting and then doors slammed and it reversed (again no need).

I wondered what was occurring but didn't think too much about it until the sound of about 1000 sheep moved closer.

A quick call to P and he told me that this has happened before. It seems that a collection of vaguely threatening looking travelers park their sheep (and on closer inspection several cows!) in someone's field or in this case under the poplars for 6 hrs or so and then move them on.

Gorilla grazing, who'd have thought?

Just as long as sheep don't like grapes we'll be ok.
