Neighbours - who'd have them?!

Hurray, new neighbours. After the steers were moved from the the paddock it's been lonely with no friends to talk to.

Fear not, we've got new neighbours this week. The dinkiest, sweetest family of goats - billy, bessy and their little kids.

Dramatic scenes today though as I turned into the lonely goat herder. They obviously didn't like the paddock much and escaped to be found wandering on the highway. I did manage to get them back although MT doesn't think I'll make the next round of "one man and his dog".

Whilst I did marvellously for style, there were a few penalty points for taking the goats into the neighbours garden and then a slow move back down the lane to their rightful place.


Whilst they may look happily through our fence they escaped again tonight..... can you believe it. A few words were spoken to the neighbours house sitter (well dog and goat sitter). Hopefully he's mended the hold in the fence and they will be around for while.

The Bassets are curious but not interested enough to make friends. That's tomorrow's excitement.
