Escaped sheep climb onto shop roof

This is the hilarious moment three lost sheep were caught after they wandered away from their farm and ended up - on a rooftop.

Andrew Laverick, 49, spotted the animals “chilling” on the roof and couldn’t understand how they managed to get up there.

The shop owner was walking along the road in Glenridding, Cumbria, at around 2pm when he filmed the lost sheep.

Andrew said: “I saw those sheep and thought to myself: ‘what’s going on?’

“It’s just some sheep on a rooftop, but how did they get there?

“It’s not every day you see some sheep just hanging out, chilling on a rooftop.

“I thought they must have jumped or something - but it was really funny and unusualt.”

He contacted a local farmer who arrived to herd his meandering sheep back to the Gillside sheep farm.

Andrew, who owns the Catstycam Outdoor Shop, said: “We contacted the farmer and they got them down and back to safety. I suppose they just wanted to go on a little walk.

“I was surprised they could jump - but that’s animals for you, they can do all sorts of crazy things you could never imagine.

“They do odd things, and get to odd places.

“It really made my afternoon, it’s been quite gloomy so it was quite the sight.

“I immediately went into work to tell everyone about it, I couldn’t stop talking about it.”
