Sheep can graze for about six to eight hours a day, according to Google. And it turns out, I can happily spend a good 60 minutes or so watching them; there s something quite hypnotic in that steady rhythm of rip, munch, chew. I ve just spent the night in a shepherds hut on Romney Marsh - a 100-square-mile stretch of marsh and farmland declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty , tucked between the Kent Downs and Sussex border on England s south coast. Alarm set for sunrise, I d planned to head out for an early bike ride, but opening my blinds to a heavy fog, it s a slow morning instead.
