Me: Why is Dave looking so concerned?
Nell: Look out of the window.
Me: All I can see is a sheep going for a walk.
Nell: All you can see?
Me: Yes. It’s just turned right at the crossing so I hope it knows where it’s going. The village hall is the other way.
Nell: Why would it be going to the village hall?
Me: There might be a meeting. There often is.
Nell: It’s first thing in the morning.
Me: Maybe it’s looking for Gladys and the llamas? Glide with Gladys is open to all.
Nell: Sheep are not supposed to be walking down the middle of the road.
Me: There isn’t a pavement.
Nell: Sheep are supposed to stay in the field.
Me: It probably just popped out to visit someone. It’s on its way back now.
Nell: It’s bin collection day. Anything could happen.
Me: It’s probably gone down the lane now.
Nell: I hope it doesn’t bump into Beauregard and Mrs King.
Me: Why doesn’t Roary join them on their morning walks?
Nell: Roary has to go to school. Do keep up.
Me: Is he joining the schoolchildren on the bus?
Nell: Lions are not allowed on buses.
Me: That’s a bit harsh.
Nell: I agree. Rupert says he can take him in the sidecar.
Me: Knitwear Wolf is such a thoughtful animal.
Nell: He can combine it with his paper round so it’s no trouble and he has a couple of soft cardigans to deliver to some corgis in Kingsbridge today anyway.
Me: They’re going to need cardigans in this weather.
Nell: I heard Chris coughing.
Me: Yes, he has an awful cold. I’m afraid flying doesn’t help.
Nell: And neither does a stag weekend in Lisbon. Any sign of that sheep?
Me: No. Sorry.
