Sheep sighted outside James College

They must be feeling pretty sheepish


This afternoon, residents of James College were surprised to see a small gathering of sheep on the lawn between Blocks M, B, E and L. The seven sheep were presumably lost or looking for a bit of fun. We didn't get a statement from them.

Many a Snapchat story has been posted, all featuring really original captions such as "Only in Yorkshire" or "Did you know I go to uni in Yorkshire?" Classic.

How did they get there, why were they there and most importantly did anyone manage to pet one?

According to one source, a local farmer has been contacted and will be retrieving the sheep.

We can only hope they find their way back home for Christmas.
