Life Down Wattle Lane v2 - It's raining sheep!

Well, that was a mission!

It's flooding across Loburn Terrace Road out the front of our place, which when the roadside drain starts to overflow... the water comes into our front paddock. I should have moved the sheep during the day, but I was hoping the drainage work that the council undertook last year, would have kept the water back, but unfortunately no. 

Then I was thinking, well the sheep should stay out of the water and stay at the top end of the paddock, which misses the flood water... but no.

So about 9pm I decided to bring the sheep into the barn. Which was a mission in the dark, rain, and not to forget that I had to get them through a small side gate, that they have never gone through before.

But we did it! 

They're now settled in for the night out of the rain and they have a midnight snack. 

Hopefully they don't eat their way out of my makeshift fence of hay. 😅
