2nd jan

All sheep accounted for all gates ok, but the laminated sign on the locked footpath gate has faded to illegibility. No trees across fences that I could see. Couple of walkers, one dog on a lead. Water ok, empty water container was blowing around so I put it under the fencing wood.

I gave the sheep afternoon tea rather than breakfast to miss the worst of the storm. In high winds and slippery chalky mud, 4 legs and low centre of gravity have an advantage over us upright beings (although over the winter my centre of gravity has lowered somewhat).
