Having reached its limit a somewhat nonplussed sheep stops momentarily on a road as it leaves the 30 mph zone just outside the village of Minions high on a misty Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, SW England, UK. Perhaps it was just about to leave its comfort zone? Have you ever reached your limit? This also re...
