the grass is greener

While heading up to Cork I took the back road over the mountain and came across some escaped sheep, who were happily munching on the long verge grass. They didn't like me trying to get pass them and every time I came level with them they'd stop munching and panic and run in front of the car. This went on for about 10 mins longer than was amusing or interesting, I'd long got my blip by then!
I rather like the way the sheep and the grass have a matching bedraggled look about them.
