Sherbet The Sheep

[BaronC]

The grass needed cutting so we started the flock...

Happiness is a metal sheep called Sherbet

[Hidden]

Bet he'd cheap to keep

[StrawberryCream]

Awww that's a grand Sherbet the sheep you've chosen to start your flock with. Has he any rele's that could come my way as then I wouldn't need to pay my gardener?!

[BaronC in reply to StrawberryCream]

I'm sure there might be one or two

[cat3]

I love Sherbet and we've only just met. Being Sher(bet) suggests a female whereas Sher(bert) wouldn've been a ram.....................yes ?? x

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

Yep, Sherbet's a she! I think it's only a matter of time until a ram joins the flock however...

[cat3 in reply to BaronC]

I've just remembered, you aquired a farmyard creature some time ago.......................was it a chicken ? x

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

First there was Hubert the hedgehog, secondly Cuthbert the chicken and now Sherbet...

[cat3 in reply to BaronC]

Ah yes, handsome Cuthbert. I remember now.

The beginnings of a smallholding then ; a cow next maybe ? x

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

No, we need more sheep, a couple more in the flock would be a start, although Mrs N has her eye on a larger one.

It's twice the size of Sherbet...

[cat3 in reply to BaronC]

There's a garden a mile or so away which has a menagerie of critters amongst water features, windmills & gnomes ; people pull up in their cars to stop and stare.

My local garden centre has a vast array of metal farmyard animals. Last time I'd been I told my daughter, 'I was THAT close to buying a pig today'.

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

We were that close to buying a heron!

[cat3 in reply to BaronC]

I think a heron will change your lives ........do it ; get it !! xx

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

But, but, it's £50!

[cat3 in reply to BaronC]

Just one question how big is your garden ? These critters like plenty of space to roam.

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

The Baronial mansion's garden (or Curfew's toilet as we call it) is not massive but large enough for me!

[cat3 in reply to BaronC]

All well and good, but you're not strictly a critter !

.......Are you ??

[BaronC in reply to cat3]

I've been called worse

[peaches2]

Ewe got a cool one there! x

[BaronC in reply to peaches2]

Badoom-tish!

[sospan]

In the email alert, you get a small section of the post. However, what I read was "Happiness is a mental sheep" .

Wish I could fix these reading problems ...

[BaronC in reply to sospan]

To be fair, you're not far off, on a couple of levels

[HEATH757032RM9yx]

As a "sensabile" non B.I type i do bealive that sheep Mr Sherbert will not be suffiecent at lawn mowing or silmialr! He clearly need wheels and a blade! x

[BaronC in reply to HEATH757032RM9yx]

[HEATH757032RM9yx]
