    I always thought sheep were grass eaters until I went to the Isle of Mull on a marine biology trip. The sheep there eat seaweed on the beaches,  apparently supplemented by the odd seagull. They started with dead ones on the tide line, and now creep up on the live ones.

    Morning all.

    Dull and cold.

    Done SM, so that is my chore out of the way.

    Lovely to see you back Stacey, continued good luck with the business.

    So sorry to hear your news Chicky, I really hope something can be sorted soon. I find it much more worrying when OH is ill, than when I am.

    Very concerned about the sheep fidget. I now have visions of sitting on top of a hill somewhere, and a flock of sheep appearing, and starting to devour me!

    Have a good day everyone.

    Its foggy here.

    I started sweet peas soaking last night, and connected up all the root trainers. I'll fill them up with compost today and get them started. Six packets I bought at 50p a packet, last autumn, then I agreed to help out with flowers for a July wedding. She wants blue sweet peas, so I had to buy another three packets for a separate run. The ones I bought earlier were all peaches and reds.

    Yes, the biscuits are good. They have cinnamon, mixed spice, ginger, allspice, golden syrup, brown sugar, etc in them. 

    I see your being watched by a sheep up there Fairy. Better be careful.
