Sometimes I do worry about the country I'm proud to call home....

Local resident Claire Waters, 38, was watching TV at around 2pm when she heard some strange noises outside.

She is reported to have said: “When I went outside and was facing the front of my house, I looked up towards the roof and there was a sheep standing there.”

A spokeswoman from South Wales Fire Service said firefighters suspected that the sheep probably came from the hill behind the houses.

The furry creature is believed to have used a rear garage to get onto the roof.

“We have never had anything like that before, though we have found sheep in some difficult places. It was running back and forward on the roof, but eventually it must have realised how many firefighters were there trying to get it down. So it thought, I'd better come down now.”

The sheep was unharmed in the incident.

I have a fiend who owns a holiday cottage on the coast of North Wales, a couple of years ago a cow fell through her conservatory roof! So not as odd as you might think

Probably a paracow lost its parachute LOL.

How many other fiends do you know then, or was that just a Freudian slip?

she is a friend, but has also been know to be a little fiendish

The cottage is built in a patch of land that was cut into the side of a hill so the field behind is slightly higher that the conservatory roof! I do have a photo somewhere, of the cottage, not the cow!

Well when you toss a caber, you throw it, hence tossing cows means throwing them, that's why they get onto the roof.

What else...
