Goats
I was in Llandudno yesterday and heard that the famous Kashmir Goats had come down from the storm lashed Great Orme to cause havoc in the town. I only got a glimpse of one big guy trotting across the A546
Haha .... well that wasn't the reply you expected was it!!
No there is no goat herder for these goats, they live wild on the Great Orme. They have minimal supervision and can stray pretty much wherever they want to. It's quite rare for them to come into town but in these extreme weather conditions I don't blame them for this little foray.
I never heard of the Kashmiri Goats. I'd love to know their story - how did they get there? are they wild? Abandoned? Dangerous? Well, isn't Google a wonderful thing - http://www.llandudno.com/the-great-orme-kashmiri-goats/
Goats are such amiable creatures, they love the company of humans but it seems the Kashmiri goats are not as social. Glad they can just wander into town if the weather is inclement.
My friend arrived in Llandudno on Wednesday for a week's holiday in the area. I told her about you!! I am jealous that she might cross paths with you !! x
Isn't there a goat herder there somewhere?

Every time I have been north of Cardiff I have seen sheep walking around town. I thought it was normal.
ReplyDeleteThese are Kashmir goats the descendants of those given as a gift to queen Victoria
DeleteThat's interesting. She had strong ties to those lands I think.
DeleteThinking about it, I suppose she was Emperor of those lands. Better for Wales than elephants.
DeleteThis is way too funny!
ReplyDeleteLlandudno is gorgeous isn't it. The sweep of the cobble bay is quite breath taking

ReplyDeleteThese appeared on my twitter feed above an advert for curry lol
ReplyDeleteHahahha!
DeleteWell, goats in town and on the highway is certainly something completely different! With apologies to Monty Python.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Love the whole idea of goats in Llandudno - could only happen in Wales methinks.
ReplyDeleteHow perfect. Since they've been in Wales so long, you'd think they would have dropped the vowels: Kshmr.
ReplyDeleteHaha, brilliant :-)
DeleteIt looks like they are out on the razzle - hoping to nail a few Welsh sheep farmers.
ReplyDeleteCould've come on the tram.
ReplyDeleteThe weather must be hard if they come down off the Orme

ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
Goats are fun, but sheep are better.
ReplyDeleteCall me weird but I prefer women.
Deletegoats? allllllrighty then...
ReplyDeleteWhere I live it's Bear's or Moose that wander through.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Mary Bolton! I'm not sure when the bears will wake with all the snow still on the ground here in Vermont...
DeleteMwaaaaahhhhh!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be KIDding!

ReplyDeleteSome good puns in these comments, you have so many witty readers.
ReplyDeleteIts pretty wild and windy here too but all I've seen is pheasants walking about.
