00:00This is Wonky. Hello Wonky. And she has been on a journey. If you haven't met Wonky yet,
00:06check out the tidy tea page. Wonky started out life a little bit squished by her enormous
00:12brother in the womb. It made it really hard for her to stand, drink, yeah, just do lots
00:18of things. She walked in a lot of circles, but with a bit of TLC and a lot of patience,
00:23she's coming round just lovely. Wonky. What's the fuss you two? Where is your mother?
00:38Where has your mother gone? Huh? Why did you jump over the wall? Everyone deserves a little
00:51bit of time off. She had it. Now she's in the walled garden and she'll be hard pushed
00:55to jump those walls. No rest for the wicked pet. A lot of people have been asking what's
01:02going to happen to Wonky. Hi Wonks. I breed sheep for meat and for yarn and you have to
01:13try and stay quite dispassionate. Duty of care means you look after them to the best of your
01:17ability until such time as they move on. And I try not to get too attached, but every
01:24now and again there is a special sheep and yeah, she's staying. I won't be able to sell
01:33Wonky. Wonky will live on the tidy teacroft just as long as she chooses to.
01:40Wonky. I cannot get this sheep to stay still. Wonky. Wonky. You want to stay here on the
01:47croft with me? What do you reckon? Is that a yes? Okay. Seems like a deal.
01:59A lovely afternoon. Would you like to go and find some sun? It didn't take the beast long
02:06to figure it out, but it took Wonky just that little bit longer.
02:12Come Wonky. Well done. Come Wonks.
02:18She's calling here for her mum. And there she is. Good mummy.
02:34Gonna follow mum Wonks. That's where they should be. They're gonna hang out here for a few days.
02:53We'll go in the shed at night and then we'll see how they get on. Welcome to outside Wonky.
03:04Wonky. Wonky. Your adoring fanbase would like to know how you are. How are you? Quite. And I
03:16hear you've been drinking all by yourself. You have. That's very clever. Yes. Look at you
03:23moving your head all the way round. Look at that. Good job Wonka Lunk. Hey Wonks. Wonky's definitely
03:31stronger but sounding a little bit chesty. I think we'll give you a little dose of antibiotics and
03:36then pop you under your mum and see where we go from there. Yes. Who's that?
03:48Go on then. You can do it. You can do it Wonks. Oh dear. Oh he's a Wonks.
03:53Come on Wonky. Up you get. We're gonna keep working at it. Yes we are. There you go. There you go.

04:07and should unwonk. So keep following for updates.
