Sheep.

I think I have finally convinced the husband that we need to get sheep next spring. I want sheep for three main reasons:

1. I am not going to mow the lawn for three hours each and every weekend again next year, and the husband isn´t either. Life´s too short.
2. We´re not going to get one of these ridiculous ride-on mowers. No really, we won´t, dear husband.
3. Sheep are cute.

I did some research and I think we´ll get an old German breed, the "Skudde". They are tough and smallish and wooly (see picture above). Everything I expect from a sheep. I am thinking two girls? Yes? Yes.

Do it! My parents have two sheep to mow their little field and they are really cute and (tell your husband) very practical indeed. Just make sure you keep them tame as we had a nightmare trying to round them up at shearing time. Had to find a neighbour with a sheepdog and even in rural England you wouldn't believe how hard that could be!

big yes from a country where there are four times as many sheep as people :-)
