SHEEP!! (Lots of 'em)

[Bill McDicken]

Does anybody know why we've been invaded by a bunch of plant/bulb/tree/bush eating sheep around Clachan Seil ( Hitler's Bunker) and who they belong to?. They have been marked with Blue stuff. They are systematically devouring everyone's gardens. Maybe we should just grab one each and have enough lamb chops for a year! ( Oops! sorry Elaine that was thoughtless!!)

As far as we can see we now have them all and I'm sure you will be pleased to hear that they are now only eating hay. "Blue stuff" = Ardencaple sheep but I am assured that there is going to be a new fence put up right the way from Nick Hunter's hill behind Cnoc a Chailtainn (I lived there for 3 years and I still can't spell it!) right down to Willowburn. I have been promised such things in the past so we shall see. I think we have decided to keep them handy now so hopefully the next time they venture up there they will have their wee lambs and a fence!!

Oh and to be honest, I don't think they would make great chops - those ones are bred for the milk and their wool - their lambs however...................
