One of my best phantom planter memories!

-

 Was this day 4 years ago I was down mulching some phantom plum trees I have near the Mourne Mountains,  then I decided to go for a walk in the mountains.

As we were walking we had spotted a wee sheep with its heads stuck in a hole and it wasn't for moving, turns out it had a broken leg.

So I carried it off the mountain and brought it to a vet, they said if its kept off the leg it should heal ok but if it goes back on the mountain it will die.


I had put a post on here back then to see if anyone wanted to look after it and one nice family got in touch with me and took the wee sheep in, turns out it was a girl and they named her Flossie.


Flossie made a full recovery thanks to this lovely family putting in so much effort to look after her.

They made her a sling and other aids to keep her of her leg so she could heal correctly.

To this day Flossie is living her life on a farm with a horse as a friend.

I have went and visited her a few times and her tail was wagging when she seen me, think she remembered me!


I had managed to find out who the farmer was that owned the sheep on the mountain and let him know what had happened and also to ask if we could keep it as I got attached to her and didnt want to see her on someones dinner plate as thats what would have happened if I had put her back up on the mountain!


He was happy for us to keep it but he did say he didn't think it would last more than a few weeks as its a wild sheep, but Flossie proved us wrong!


This is up there with my best phantom planter memories yet!


Two of the pics is me carrying Flossie off the mountain, think she knew I was helping her as she was so relaxed and the other is her a couple of years later looking all Regal looking in the snow.

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
