Just about to head home tonight.
The Mrs rings, she's locked out of the house (her fault for leaving her key in the house) and all 9 goats had disappeared...

I hurried home, opened the house, had tea and set off hunting goats.
The Mrs had spent 40 mins searching.

A good chance to nosey at the neighbours.

I'm not so sure myself.

Not in the brackens on the hillsides luckily, but in the bottoms on the bog it's bad for ticks.

We keep the sheep off the bog until a couple of weeks before we shower them.

Such a lot of ground round here now just becoming bracken infested wasteland since sheep have been taken off. :(

It's a bad do, we have certain hillsides that are bad for brackens, we put the entire flock on it for a part of the winter, helps with bracken control and stops them wrecking good fields.

Natural England are currently talking about spraying bracken, I can't remember what chemical they named, but it's on temporary license.

I would hope they're coming to do it with a helicopter, some of the land you can't even walk never mind spray.
