The sheep hazard

Simple jobs like driving up the track to go shopping involves hearding sheep.

This occasion was about a lamb that had got separated from his mother and was on the main road side of the cattle grid.  To drive up would have pushed him on to the road.  Answer walk around the field on the left, see the Jeep?, climb the fence and stop him going any further up the hill.  Sandie, meanwhile, got out of the Jeep and walked to the gate at the side to undo it.  Having done so, the little blighter stood at the grid, and jumped right over it from a standing start!  Eight feet or so!  Looking for some mint for some sauce at the moment.
