It had the potential to unfold badly.
I have’nt and wont be continuing with this blog for the foreseeable:
Thats because I cant go there anymore!
Lets say then this blog is officialy dormant.
No doubt things are happening there and the councils development plans I am sure are progressing.
The fact that it is just left hanging here slightly irritates me because it wont move forwards?
Because it has several hundred sheep grazing on it…….
That means I can’t walk my dog there. Sheep are a not going to bring out the type of behaviour a responcible dog owner can allow. In short create a stampede.
So my country park has been taken away from me as I cant afford the time to go there without my dog. The whole blog was really generated by him anyway.
I do actually think it’s great that there are sheep there. May be the council were spending too much on keep cutting the grass all the time, so grazing sheep solves it.
Why do they need to cut the grass?
My only guess can be that if wildlife began to return to a natural wild place then development plans may be thawrted. Like not being able to build new airports for london due to rare water birds established on the site etc.
It was funny the time I went there and didnt know the sheep were there. I reckon I sussed it about 4 seconds before my dog did. The reason I managed that is because I am 3-4 times taller than he is and I can see things further in the distance. Ground level is his domain.
I had to get him on the lead as quick as possible as I knew it would unfold badly.
All was well and I spoke with another dog owner who had his dog on the lead aswell, who said the grass cutting tractor caught fire about a week ago and a couple of days later the sheep arrived….and were continuing to arrive.
A dogwalk with a dog on the lead is not an enjoyable experience for either the one with 4 legs, or the one with two.
