Ah, but how do you know that the levitating Terror Goat of a few days ago and today's ridiculously smug free-range Terror Goat are one and the same? There might be a whole army of Terror Goats bubbling up from the depths of the ancient mine workings, ready to conquer Cornwall now that an order has gone out to remove their ancient enemies, the chickens, the secret defenders of the land, indoors.

Glad Yama Bungle is seemingly recovered. I had to put a cushion up the chimney to stop Gizmo climbing up there when we had birds nesting on top of it. She never showed much interest in climbing in general but all the rustling had her fascinated and by the time she only had one paw on the grate, I wasn't assuming she wasn't about to launch herself upwards, however out of character it was!

From the stories of various relations who have or currently own livestock, this is indeed true. Unless you have tasty foods, in which case it is ridiculously easy to get a goat to follow you pretty much anywhere. And ridiculously difficult to get them to STOP following you.

'I found seven horses in my garden and am unable to trace the owner. I have put them in my field, but it is only fenced for sheep so they might not be there any more. I am disabled, and can do no more!'

I laughed out loud at that! Nice element to include as local color in a story.
