lucky socks...

after yesterdays shenanigans, a vet visit, a *almost snuffed it* goat and a sick chicken moving in to the greenhouse, i had hope indeed that today i could squeeze a little time out of the day to escape to my tip workroom..

seemingly the horses had other ideas in mind...

late last night they had obviously sniffed the air and realised that their entire summer season of running free is almost over, that it is almost time to bring them closer to home where they can be led in to a dry stable if the weather turns, and closer to the water and hay bales so i do not have to cart stuff over fields and fields..

they eyeballed each other and plotted one last adventure..
one more stone wall and gate to wreck..
one more chance to visit the forbidden lower land where the mysterious cows live...

and so sparrow did
mouse clearly could not work it out and got left behind..
and this dear readers is why i awoke to sounds of much horse screaming as the two bestest buddies had managed to arrive at either side of a fence..



with a heavy heart, a glance at my workroom, and a last minute pull on of my lucky socks i set forth on my quest ..

{ lucky ducky me received lucky socks as a very unsuspected gift :) }

i could spot the runaway from a distance..



as i got closer being extra careful not to fall down the massive trenches that the escapee pigs had kindly left, i could see the problem ...



with dress tucked firmly in knickers i climbed/fell over the fence, popped head collar on sparrow and started the gentle act of persuasion..

for you see sparrow was not all that keen on leaving behind his pal, his buddy, his partner in crime...
but leave him we must and sparrow and i trundled happily down the forbidden field, past the mysterious cows, over the stream and through the muddy gate..



we stopped for a picnic on the way...

and before we knew it we were back home and sparrow was welcomed back in to the correct field by a furious mouse ...
molasses had to be given to keep the peace...


so
nowt going on in the workroom so far today...
