Transcription Market day was a nightmare here if those gates were open, I mean they'd cattle and sheep. They come just running loose in the road, you see, and, and if, if we forgot or the gardener here forgot to shut the front gates, suddenly you've got a half a dozen sheep on.

Running around the tennis court, that did happen. Uh, never seem to think about. They just came in loose. I'd never get away with it now I don't think, but uh they'd come in a wagon, but in those days it was just running wild in the road, and it it was always a thing when, Mary day came.

Uh, mother was pretty hot on this to make sure that the front gates were shut and kept shut because otherwise you'd get a dozen sheep in the field having a bit of a frolic on the tennis court or something. But people wouldn't believe you now, he said, well, he couldn't bring them loose and they did and um.

Sheep, cattle and the.

Uh It was always a bit of a thing.

Oh, he did.

Our gates must be shut.
