    Fox.

    Foxes would have cubs at this stage and would surely carry the whole lamb. An old fella near always says its the dog fox that takes the head. Don't believe that one myself. Won't know till I catch or kill the culprit. Had the same a few years back and it turned out to be the neighbours dog.

    It's a fox 100%. Best ewe had both lambs killed last spring, left me everything except the ram lambs head. Fox was robbing twin lambs as they were being born.

    Brought sister to gorey today so she could practice her driving.

    NEVER AGAIN... At least not in my car.
    Nearly died with amount of close ones she had.
    I'll leave it to the driving instructor.

    She's just not a hands on person more a book worm

    Sounds like me!
    My brother gave up on me after one lesson with him, he has no patience and neither do it was never going to end well, especially as I collapsed in fits of giggles whenever I did anything wrong in the car:pac:

    On another note, just back from visiting my Granny, 94 years of age and her telling me about herself looking out at the lambs being born yesterday and the son shouldn't have split all the twin-lambs ewes from the singles, but he was right to send the singles to the mountain.

    I've no idea of sheep but I could have listened to her for hours. Still lives on her own, does all her own cooking and cleaning. Fair woman so she is!

    God bless the Grannies! They have seen some amazing changes in this country in their lifetime. I don't think we will see the same kind of technological advances, and take them in our stride, as they have.

    My Grandfather had 160 sheep with 70 cows 40ish years ago. Turned 90 this January. It seemed right to hold a station for his birthday ;)

    I can't buy any more as I have two floor to ceiling bookcases filled in my room already. Over 400 of them now. So I need a new house to put a bookcase in :D:pac:
    Prefer actual books by a mile to an e-reader, but will be travelling a bit this week and I fly through books so it's a bit much lugging around 3/4 books with me.
    Anything I read on the e-reader I would buy after in the book though. Weird collector that I am.

    And he's not in the nip, I'm thinking of a different film he's in. Thats a good one on right now though.
