It kills a hangover stone dead, rots the teeth and in an emergency, you can use it as a dye for curtains or wool if you take a notion for bright orange soft furnishings.<br /><br />Some of the shepherd/ dog teams worked like poetry in motion, the collies darting off a top speed then when they worked the sheep, they creep flat in the grass as if their legs are replaced with castors.<br />I need to know how to translate the whistles and how the dogs know the sounds.<br /><br />I shall look on youtube but reckoned that the sheep shearing trailers could easily be adapted as a mobile guillotine and hitched to the back of a Land Rover. It would save the country a fortune in wind farm subsidies and free up vast acres of land.....GentleOtterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728896118931496934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804759117912757983.post-86525449027776862172012-07-15T23:56:04.523-07:002012-07-15T23:56:04.523-07:00Thanks for this, it cheered me up no end on the st...Thanks for this, it cheered me up no end on the start of my day off...<br /><br />IrnBru hasn't reached south Germany as yet, and nor have sheepdog trials. The only time I remember seeing a sheepdog actually looking after sheep was in Bavaria where a flock of sheep was grazing next to a busy 'a'-road with nothing but one very bored looking sheepdog between them and whizzing certain death. It seemed to work though. <br /><br />BTW, if you look in YouTube for "Mark Steel Vive la Revolution" there's a really funny talk on the French Revolution and how it has been maglined by history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5804759117912757983.post-5068694812537573122012-07-15T08:50:44.880-07:002012-07-15T08:50:44.880-07:00There were lots of feisty ewes foot stamping and h...There were lots of feisty ewes foot stamping and hard staring. It was a brave dog indeed who faced up to some of them...<br />Hope the dog does not see me as the troublesome matriarch ;)<br /><br />The Farmer, children and dogs all out for a loooong walk today.<br />I am enjoying the peace and secretly trying to master the shepherd whistle but cannot get a noise out of it.
