Hi Ed,

I'm in Kent too - whereabouts are you? I'm in the triangle between Ashford, Folkestone and Canterbury. I've not dared get anything with four legs yet - I've got geese, ducks, chickens, bees, cats, lizards and soon to be rabbits (the last few just pets).

  Hadn't even thought that! It's the paperwork required for big four legged creatures that puts me off - and having been on a sheep keeping course over in your direction, I decided they definitely weren't for me (too smelly - even compared with my ducklings).

fair enough i too dis-like paper work but will do it if it means i get to keep sheep and then get lamb in the freezer at the end
