Staring Sheep

We went to the local amateur dramatics group’s pantomime a few weeks ago. The undoubted star of the show (sorry, Nick!) was Lampard the staring sheep. Brilliant! Of course, since that evening, almost every sheep we’ve seen reasonably close at hand has done just that – stared blankly. Today, beside the Hurst Farm lane, they thought we might be auctioning for next year’s production.

Sheep notwithstanding, it’s a beautiful morning to be out and about. Saturday will be the first of March, the beginning of the Met. Office’s spring. The air temperature’s not so sure about that, but the sun is noticeably much higher in the sky than when we walked this way in mid-January. It’s a great time of year!
