An ancient right dating back to the middle ages allowing the freemen of London city to drive sheep over London Bridge free of charge was exercised by the Lime Street Ward Club in aid of the Red Cross on Saturday. All freemen were invited to the special event where this special breed of sheep "stufftus onwheelera lifesizium" crossed the bridge finishing with a race at twightlight. In addition to the fastest sheep awards were also given to best of breed and the highly coveted black sheep award.Courtesy of host Louis La Vache visit other Sunday Bridges

ReplyDeleteHmmm... is it an ancient rite or right? :-D What a great special breed of sheep! Being born in the Year of the Sheep I sure hope I never get Stufftus! :-D
ReplyDeleteVery cute sheep! They seem to be the non-grass eating variety!
ReplyDeleteVery funny! Love it for the bridge series. :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Funny sheep.
ReplyDeleteYou started my day with a good laugh and I thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteThis is one way to keep the sheep towing the line!
ReplyDeleteIt seems a good compromise to use 'artificial' sheep. Great fun!
