Bob's sheep restraining trap in action
Uncle Alan's poem
Once in Persia reigned a King, Trains of camels through the sand In the revels of his court, Lady fairest ever seen Fighting on a furious field, Towering in the public square Struck with palsy, sere and old,
Too chicken to take the van any firther down the track Chuckling streams runoff from the moors Snow scenes at High Quebec!
What you see looking out of the window as the snow falls! And you wrestle with BBC Weather Forecasts Spring cleaned fish tank Chinook flyby Scares egret But not Mr Pheasent And Let's hear it for the terrier!

Baysdale Teesside is full of lorry drivers and motor cycle instructors who suffer from random sheep related radio messages interrupting their lorry driving and motor cycle instruction - 'Luke will you just pull over.... Luke please pul over on that grass Luke Jackie can you see those sheep below you pull over by the seives left at that round about Jim LEFT there's some behind you Kath LUKE ' Aaaagh

We knew, when the top bananas all baled out after the referendum result. The teen age voters have revenged themselves on the oldies to get supported through their university years. Basically a win for terrorist groups and people with long knives. My 15 acre 'garden' is going to triple my poll tax, RPA will doubtless vanish and Europe's getting best laugh since the American election. And Ryedale's fracked. And that may read as teenagers being a terrorist group. I considered the offence this may cause, then left it as it reads. So kennel cough seems small beer at mo; got a bucket of antibiotic tablets all the dogs reject in any form of concealment so by the end of the course probably will be first customer of our new enriched super efficient NHS for re attaching my pill inserting hand.
Joke Another Joke To the woods Jupe photobombing the scenary Pardon?
Part of the team Bluebells at Baysdale Helping train the Plainsville sheep! On the mobile... keeping the heavy breather interested with the occasional whistle blast.

Clough Head Sheepdog Trial from thetop of the field.Valmis Jupiter makes it up there! I am at the bottom, in front of the white car away from the rest, the judge's car, begging him to flank so we get some steering. He REALLY wants to bring them straight down. I REALLY want him to swing them left along the side of the incline to hit his fetch gates. We did get them but time ran out... (Thank you Thomas Longton for the pic taken on his phone; 'Dog has so much eye I had time to take a picture')
Another lovely 2 days gathering at Baysdale off the moor and into the fields for lambing. Bob in his Grandfather chair!

Chap had a perfect half mile outrun on the Deerplay second day but failed to take vital stop and steering commands and brought them at high speed over bog gulley and rush to my feet instead of across the hill to the drop off point for his second outrun, so I retired. I was not alone, plenty more did the same, so I know what to practice for next year! The winning runs showed how to do it!
