@walshster19 We watched her gradually get back to norms up and make her way back to other sheep

Saved a life today! 🐑 came across a sheep stuck on its back.

This is called a "cast" sheep? It’s a major emergency, their heavy stomachs can crush their lungs, and they can die within hours if they aren't flipped over.

We grabbed its wool, and rolled it back on its feet. ❤️

@AlicePretorius4 You’d be surprised how many people don’t know about this xx

[Angela Pendleton @APendleton1977]

@JaneWil94237478 @FriseSally I didn’t. This is not the actual sheep.

[Angela Pendleton @APendleton1977]

@Keith197576 Sheep end up on their backs ("cast") when they lie down to rest or scratch an itch in a dip in the ground. Because of their heavy fleeces, short legs, and round bodies, their center of gravity shifts,
making it physically impossible for them to right themselves.

[Angela Pendleton @APendleton1977]

@Samfahh This wasn’t the actual sheep. Didn’t have time for a picture

[Angela Pendleton @APendleton1977]

@BarbaraVerhoeve Thank you. She was on her back rocking so we helped her rock onto her feet

Lovely to catch up with my sisters Canadian friends in London ❤️

Part 4
There’s nothing like a long walk to gain a little perspective. Next stop: Leg 5 Italy 2027! 🇮🇹 🥾🥾

Part 1 151km later: Reflecting on Leg 4 of the Via Francigena 🥾

There is something transformative about walking an ancient pilgrimage route. This past week, we completed the fourth leg of the Via Francigena, an epic journey that historically connected Canterbury to Rome.🥾🥾

[Angela Pendleton @APendleton1977]

Part 3 The highlight, however, was the community. We shared miles and stories with fellow pilgrims from Australia, Germany, Italy, Austria, Holland, and America. It’s a powerful reminder that no matter where we come from, we’re all headed in the same direction. 🥾

[Angela Pendleton @APendleton1977]

Pt 2
We experienced everything the elements could throw at us, from glorious sunshine to torrential rain. The final day was the toughest: a relentless uphill trek to reach the Radicofani fortress. But as any pilgrim knows, the hardest climbs often lead to the best views. 🥾🥾

[Angela Pendleton @APendleton1977]

Part 2
Over 5 days of walking through the stunning Tuscan landscape, the reality of the trail often exceeded the map. While we planned for 132km, the trail had other ideas—we covered a total of 151.67km (over 94 miles)! 🥾

[Angela Pendleton @APendleton1977]

🥾 Next week: Part 4 of my Via Francigena pilgrimage.

82 miles through Tuscany from San Gimignano to Radicofani with my friend Karen.

Time to disconnect, reset, and test the knees. Wish me luck! 🍷⛪
