The weather forecaster on Radio 4 often says the word, but it is incorrect – surely there is mist, or no mist. As mist has a variable consistency, you can’t have half mist.

Bo and Peep love sitting by the gate. Some consternation today as the new ewes (hogs) are back and the pair couldn’t understand who/what they are. Do they speak the same language, or do they have a different accent? The Tupping Teasers are in with the flock. Wethered rams, firing blanks, who tease the ewes to get them in the mood and in the same cycle. Then they get taken out and himself appears.
