Hi mum
Something really awesome happened today!!!!!!!!
As my host was only working for the afternoon today, she said she was going to take me out on a special trip in the morning. I was so excited! So we headed out and towards the woodland next to her house!
We went through a really thin and overgrown public footpath, first of all.
And then!!! I SAW ONE! A real sheep!! It was so far away though, my host had to use the zoom so it would be visible on the photo
As the sheep was so far away, we didn't think that would count as seeing a sheep, but my host said not to worry because we'd be able to see plenty once we got into the woodlands because there were fields either side of the footpath that were bound to have sheep inside.
On the way down there was a gap in the fence leading into the field with the sheep we saw but my host didn't want to go through it in order to get closer because she'd be trespassing on private land.
And this is the footpath between the fields!
It started getting quite overgrown though
Yup, this is still the path apparently! I suggested turning back but my host was adamant that we would see a sheep closeup!
But when we got through the brambles, we reached a nice wide path again, and look! More sheep! But still too far away to properly see on camera.
But eventually the path came to a dead end and we still hadn't properly seen any sheep. So my host was a bit naughty and climbed over the fence at the end of the footpath since there were sheep in that field Yup, this is the same girl who didn't want to go in the other field earlier on, hehe. But she said this one was a little further away from the farmhouse so it would be unlikely she'd get caught. Still, we made it quick
And look! I saw some quite close to me! Well, closer than the other one
But they kept running away when we got close
I was a little bit disappointed that we couldn't get closer but my host took a zoomed in photo for me.
So then we headed back from where we came, and as we were walking up the very first path (the thin one that led to the woodland path), we saw that the sheep in the first field had moved closer to the path! My host said it was sods law!
But look! I properly saw some sheep, finally!
