Not feeling sheepish at the auction!

No, I wasn't there to buy sheep, in fact I wasn't there to buy anything. I was at Cockermouth mart to bid for some land for some friends who couldn't be there. I am glad to say that I was able to follow their careful instructions and did not have to feel sheepish that I had made a mistake...although there was a slightly tricky moment when I got a terribly itchy nose just when the auctioneer was asking if there was any advance on £250,00! And that wasn't even the land they wanted. And we certainly weren't looking at THAT sort of money!
