Sunday 27th August

All well on the downs. Water full, feed bin half full and 39 sheep! All present and correct. We did notice that one (with fetching matching red ear tags) was definitely the grand dame, a bit of foot stamping and facing up to our dogs - who were obviously on short leads. When I managed to negotiate my way around her to the gate and was watching David doing the counting from the safety of the next field she followed me to head butt the gate, her message was very clear! Not a problem for me but behaviour worth noting. Pippa Evans    pp David & Gaynor Simpson
