A home-owner has described the “hilarious” moment when she found a flock of sheep walking around on her roof.
Kristen Jackson, 28, was left “shocked” after discovering the 4 cattle trotting about on top of her four-bed property on Thursday morning.
She had been in bed along with her partner, Daniel Payne, 33, once they heard a loud noise echoing through their home, in Whitworth, Lancs., at around 8 a.m.
And fearing a burglar had crept onto the highest of their detached home, Kristen rushed outside to see what should be blamed for the bizarre commotion.
But she “burst out laughing” when she realized that a small herd of sheep was walking up and down the roof, which is around 9 feet high.
The marketing executive said: “I heard the noises and thought, what’s that? It surely can’t be a bird. Is it a cat or something else? It sounded loads larger.
“So I used to be like, ‘I want to go and see what’s on the roof.’ You’re thinking that the worst – is someone on the home? is someone breaking in?
“I quickly jumped away from bed and went out of the back door, and I went to the back garden area and looked up. And I used to be like, ‘Oh my god, there are sheep on the roof.’
“I just burst out laughing since it was form of hilarious.”
She added: “I ran inside and grabbed my phone and mainly said to my partner, ‘It’s good to come out and see this.’
“He got here out and turned around and was just shocked. He just began laughing on the undeniable fact that we had 4 sheep on the home, they usually were just staring back at us.”
Kristen explained that their home, which they moved into just over a 12 months ago and is currently under renovation, is partially submerged right into a hillside.
And this had allowed the curious livestock to clamber onto the roof after they snuck through a fence earlier within the morning.
She said: “We live in Whitworth and we back onto the moors, so we do are inclined to see sheep and cows wandering up and down the road in the event that they’ve got loose.
“It’s a surprise that they’ve come down the driveway, through the fencing and onto the roof.
“But inside five to 10 minutes, as we’d spooked them, they form of made their way off.”
Kristen said she can be reinforcing the boundaries of the property to be certain no more animals ventured on top of the house.
She added: “In the longer term, we’ll definitely be making a change to the fence to be certain it doesn’t occur again.”
