Sunday 11th December

 Amazing scenery on the downs this weekend, I have counted the 32 sheep, fed them on both days. Some are more reluctant to come and feed but all look to be in good health. I broke the ice in the trough on Saturday, but soon realised that this was fruitless as it was starting to freeze over by the time I have finished feeding the sheep. The tap is obviously frozen so the trough couldn’t be filled but it's still about 60% full. I have adjusted the height of the bolt on gate 5 as it wasn’t latching properly. I could see no sign of, additional, damage on any other gates.   Pippa     pp Adrian Crossley
