My favourite story on the BBC website today, is a report that one of the world's oldest recorded sheep has died after falling off a cliff.
Rather an undignified end, but what a good innings. The blackface ewe from Lewis in the Outer Hebrides was weaing an ear tag which put its age at 25 years and 11 months.
Apparently Guinness World Records are "actively looking for a contender to the title of oldest sheep living" and are inviting any owners to make a claim at www.guinnessworldrecords.com
