Famous for 15 minutes
Hard not to feel sorry for Schmallenberg, the town in Germany now better known for giving its name to a virus which causes foetal abnormalities in sheep, cattle and goats. It seems to have dropped out of the headlines in recent weeks, but thanks to the I can today report that the current "score" attributed to this midge-carried virus is Cornwall 1, Devon 6, Somerset 3 and Dorset 4. That's a total of 14 farms across the West Country. I don't known how many lambs and would be interested to know if any government agency is keeping count.
