Places I Would Rather Be Today




I'd love to be milling around with these Northumbrian sheep, in greener pastures, instead of fretting about booklists and schedules and things that knot my neck and shoulder muscles.

How I would love to let out a good "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

And I do like this quote about sheep:
Another night I dreamed I heard heavenly music sounding in my ears, and a flock of sheep was gathering round it. When the music ceased, the sheep leaped for joy, and ran together, shaking their heads; and one shook his head almost off, and seemed to have nothing but ears.
