Derek’s third book and it is full to the brim with hilarious situations, a big portion of karma, and bees. There are signs this is happening. In August, the environment minister Rebecca Pow said that beavers could be considered a “public good” so farmers might be paid to have them. Gow’s neighbour Derek Bambury, an intensive dairy farmer, says he could see himself farming beavers. “I’ve been farming for so long you get in a rut, but if the incentives change then you change. If they make it worthwhile and pay you to keep beavers, why not?”

I have to say that while with most I laughed a lot, some stories definitely could be better if they were a tad shorter. Sometimes it takes a while before we get to the funny bits and other times I wondered when a funny bit happened. Thankfully, funny bits do always happen, but they could be sooner! ESA has established formal cooperation with five Member States of the EU. Canada takes part in some ESA programmes under a Cooperation Agreement. Lucy Wendover, Marketing Director at Aardman says, “Aardman is excited to be joining ESA in making history by launching the first ‘sheep’ into space. As one of the first astronauts to fly an Artemis mission, Shaun is leading the way in lunar exploration, a great honour for our woolly adventurer! 2022 marks the 15th anniversary of Shaun’s first TV series, so what better way to celebrate than by travelling farther than any sheep has gone before.” About Shaun the Sheep The spacecraft will perform a flyby of the Moon, using lunar gravity to gain speed and propel itself 70 000 km beyond the Moon, almost half a million km from Earth – farther than any human, or sheep, has ever travelled.
