A busyish weekend commencing with a sheepish dog walk. We have sheep in the field on the far side of the river, which means taking care with the dogs as we approach the bridge. On Saturday morning I kept to the fields on “our” side of the river, with the sheep some distance away on the other side. The dogs started barking at something across the river, and I rounded some shrubs to see a single sheep, away from the flock
I don’t know how it got itself into this position, but sheep, once they are on their back, cannot roll back over. We walked along the river to the bridge, crossed and turned back on ourselves, dogs on leads, and rolled the ewe right way up. It promptly ran off away from the flock, and we had to shepherd it back to join it’s mates.
Matthew was up for the weekend, and with lovely mild and sunny weather we enjoyed a couple of nice long dog walks and caught up on news. Matthew has just been given his first “case study”, a job for a client that he should see through from beginning to end, essential experience for his career progression. On Sunday my Dad and Andree joined us for an excellent Sunday roast, enjoyed by all despite the only photo that I took indicating the contrary
This was during a deep and meaningful conversation between Matt, Dad, Andree and Chas about the best way to stop shirts from staining in a washing machine…. Oh what lively and enlightening discourse we enjoy at the Oakstump.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
