I was on a woodland path when this little cutie appeared from nowhere. They came to me then ran on past. I carried on to see if any other sheep beyond, but no. I’d seen a lad on a quad tending to some sheep a couple of fields back so retraced my steps. No sign of the lamb, they had vanished. Called at what I thought was the farm but the owner lets the land. She said the farmer has been looking for the lamb since Xmas Eve. They appear in her garden but again vanish. Living their best life maybe?

Sheeeep! And laaaambs! 🐑🐑🐑 #SheepOfMastodon #Defaidodon

The sun is shining in a clear blue sky. Very soothing for the soul. I had a short Boxing Day bimble through a neighbour’s woodland and down to the river. I must escape here more often.

Merry Christmas my fedifriends (happy Thursday to those who celebrate)! 🥳

The first of the hellebores in the garden to bloom. #BloomScrolling

Smudgy pic of a treecreeper on the old apple tree outside my office window. #birds

Still feeling a bit low but the sun was shining which always helps! Had a local bimble to blow the cobwebs away. Found my way to a lovely wooded valley that hides the remains of a medieval castle. I also waved at the sea. #walking #Cymru

There’s a Christmas craft fair at my local National Trust property, Llanerchaeron. The house is all dressed for Christmas with literary scenes. One of the house cats is stealing my attention. #CatsOfMastodon
