Generally I am inclined to support the unconventional and wild, but neighbours, Kay and Steve, seem unable or unwilling to make a secure place for their 'Black Sheep'.

Today is the third time I have had to chase them off and the response from their 'owners' is not very helpful nor forthcoming in making any permanently effective resolution.

I managed to catch one with a young cabbage in its mouth, which it dropped on me shouting at it.

I do not want Kay and Steve to foster the idea that I will tolerate the sheep incursions. I am neither happy to chase them off nor to chase them about and round them up.

Consequently I've written to Kay and Steve asking them to make defined plans to prevent further problems and to be prepared to make reparations in future.

28th May 00:58 Have emailed Michal and Steve to check the letter.

29th May 15.40 Steve is ok with the draft letter so must chase up Michal

3rd June 12:10 Michal has agreed to the letter as is, so will tidy it up and get a print off.

13rd June 08:52 Vera has just come to report the sheep are out and about again -:- Later said she had talked to Kay who said 'they' may get rid of the two males as they were the trouble, the females don't escape, asif.
