I found a sheep stuck in the River Derwent whilst on a walk. I tried to pull her out but sank up to my knees in mud and also discovered I am not "farm strong!" (despite GG Dani's online pyramid sessions!) So I called the RSPCA and waited with her whilst shooing her lambs away to avoid them going in the water as well. Thanks to the wonderful and super strong Helen from the RSPCA we were able to pull her out...by the front legs! She walked away like a wobbly Jonny Brownlee crossing that finish line, but was thankfully absolutely fine!
