So, it’s not just pea soup’s carpooling kids who have the goat spotting fun.
Bringing the kids home last night we were startled by a sudden yelp from the backseat. “There’s a goat up that tree!”
And now I know precisely which goat it is because this being a greeny urban fringe type area, there’s two goaty possibilities. I think I may push for a change of school route just to spot a tree-climbing goat.

I’ve been very disappointed in the goat lately – it’s been positively earthbound. Although it did have its front paws (hooves?) (feet?) up on the fence the other day, which was very tantalising.
So which is the other goaty possibility? I only know the one on Main Rd – its black and white, and it lives in a field with two brown sheep.

it’s black and white, not its.
Apologies.

The other goat is still on Main Road, further south just before the bridge. It’s on the left and you have to look down – so not for the driver to check out really. It’s a rather boring goat.

All I get on my morning commute is weeing cows… and fog. Lots of fog.
