30 years ago Peter chose to ‘drop out’ and live alone in a remote self-sufficient settlement in Wales. Then 3 years ago Peter found a new born lamb abandoned in a ditch, Peter saved his life – and now Ben is a full grown sheep with ambitions to move into Peter’s house with him. Peter however has other ideas. Peter and Ben tells the touching and quirky story of how two - drop outs form an unusual and lasting friendship.
