First, when we were at the Westbrook Beetling Mill (blog post coming later this week), we got to walk right alongside a sheep pasture. To be honest, everywhere we go we are right alongside a sheep pasture. On this instance, we were just on the otherside of a thin wire fence. As we walked along, more and more of the herd were coming to check us out and they were LOUD. I think you can see in the video, but to be sure, they were charging the edge of the fence and it was an amazing sight (and sound!) to witness an entire pasture of sheep and lambs gather towards us and essentially yell at us. Not sure if they thought we had food or they were being protective of the lambs, but either way it was quite an experience.
Second, ever had spiral potato crisps? (local language lesson: what we refer to in America as "chips" are called "crisps", here, "chips" are a type of french fry. though I was at a restaurant the other day where I was served "fries" and my friend was served "chips"...one was skinny fries and the other wedges, but I don't remember which is which anyway!) ok, so spiral potato crisps...strange stuff. They were not thin and crispy, more like a fried noodle texture (looks like a noodle too of course). Not my favorite, but when on a long car ride in the country, one must make do with the snacks that show up in the car! We also had flat flavored water thinking it would be a twist on a spritzer. It tasted like flat sprite...why were we surprised?!

Clearly the sheep didn't know that Abe was eyeing them to see which one would be dinner.
