Christmas Eve 2025 (Wednesday, if you have lost count)

All 38 sheep found. 15 white face and 17 Shetland were near the north west gate. Remaining five white faces and solitary Shetland were along the new track along the North fence. All healthy and grazing. 

The nine reindeer, however, are missing, I wonder if somebody has borrowed them and will return them on Friday :-).

Water trough is full and there are plenty of  nuts.

Gates are ok, but the sign on the gate between West and Central at the North (by the Hampshire gate) is on the wrong side.

And there is no sign on the gate between the east and central compartments at the bottom of the hill , and it doesn't have a latch or loop.

In honour Christmas Eve I admit breaking the rules and giving the sheep a little treat of sheep nuts. I hope it doesn't spoil them . Happy Christmas!
