Nile cruise disappointment for Lady Maairy of Corridge

Lady Maairy of Corridge hasn't started her travels yet but in the meantime, has been spending time with her Racing Sheep friends near Middleton, where she is having a full health exam with local Vet, DickThompson, and getting her passport stamped before setting off.

She was thinking about doing a Nile cruise first but has cancelled her plans on the grounds of personal security. However, this may be swapped for a trip to Machu Pichu later in the year.

Instead of a trip to a 'Talking Sheep' meeting in Scotland on Wednesday, she has accepted a lunch date in Paris (honestly students these days have no dedication) which may get mentioned in next Monday's Journal. She is also looking forward to the International Sheep Vets meeting in Denmark in May.

Maairy says she is hoping to wangle a visit to the Falkland Islands before then.

Note: Dick Thompson works as a Locum vet in SENorthumberland, after 20 years in mixed practice in the north of the county. He is also the recent past President of the Sheep Veterinary Society and a sheep breeder in a very small way! He hopes to use his worldwide professional contacts to ensure that Lady Maairy covers the globe studying for her thesis in 'Aquired Intelligence of Sheep'.
