Sunday 28th May
All well today - again sheep were by the Hampshire gate. All seem to be walking ok. Beware they are very strong and friendly - if you have food. Have taken the red dustbin with food to tree near water trough (look out for nettles if in shorts - they told me they don't sting this month!!) Probably need a small container for decanting feed. Water ok - didn't look as though any had been drinking. Gates all ok. One family - no dog. Pippa Evans pp Tim

Tim & I found the 20 sheep in the shade at the western boundary of the Central compartment. One Whitefaced Woodland was obviously limping - right front leg. Water level in the trough OK and no bucket of nuts to be seen. The Whitefaced Woodlands were very friendly and some came right up to us. Pippa & Tim Evans
