There were plenty of sheep doing just that this morning. We had had another fall of snow during the night and the sheep in the photo below had cleared the snow with their hooves and were busy grazing on the grass they had uncovered.
There was a constant stream of sheep passing the fence in the back garden, and they all seemed to be heading in the same directon. It made me wonder if the farmer had brought some hay into the bottom field.
We usually tip out the left over vegetables, potato skins and fruit in to the field, and the sheep have cottoned on to this fact. If they happen to be around when the fruit and veg is thrown over into the field, there is a charge from the flock to see who can get there first!
It was certainly a cold night, with snow falling, as some of the sheep still had snow attached to their fleeces.
I had a look out of the bedroom window about 4.30 am this morning and there were no signs of the road. It was competely covered in snow. As I type this (at about 9.30 am) the gritting wagon has not been up the road yet.
