Get a sheep to live in the back garden.  Reasons why having a sheep in my back garden would be a good idea –

• It would save me lots of money on wool
• It would be locally produced, organic wool and of the finest quality
• I would not have to mow the lawn again
• The sheep would be a friend to the little dog and the fishes in the pond
• It could be a business investment as I could spin the wool and then sell it for lots of money to pay for the sheep’s upkeep
• I could knit it a scarf and then sell photos of it wearing the scarf for Christmas cards
• It would feed itself on grass so would be very cheap
• In the winter it could live in the Mr’s shed – so it would have the added benefit of getting the shed cleared out
• It would mean I could find out what sheep nuts actually are
• We could take the sheep for days out to Kielder and it could play with lots of other sheep
• People would visit and make a fuss of the sheep so it would become a talking point

Thinking about it, maybe I need two?
