Ellen DeGeneres gives update on UK living struggles: 'We couldn’t keep up'

Ellen DeGeneresand her wife Portia de Rossimoved to England back in November 2024.

During a recent sit-down interview in the town of Cheltenham, UK, with journalist Richard Bacon, the former TV host gave a detailed update on what life has really been like across the pond.

First and foremost, the couple quickly adapted to the country lifestyle and at one point in time were riding lawn mowers on a daily basis, just to keep their pastures down for the horses.

The constant maintenance frustrated Ellen and she recalled that she told Portia: "We just can't keep up with this." Portia came up with the idea to buy sheep, which led to a domino effect of trial and error for the pair.

Ellen shared: "[Portia] said, 'Let's just get four sheep to put in the pastures with the horses,' and we did. And the next morning they were just out and they were gone. They just climbed right out and then I had to buy electric fencing."

One would assume the problem would end there, but instead it had just begun. The entertainer expressed: "They were in there for a week. Then one got out and then they all got out. And then I was like I have to build an actual fence. So we built a fence and it was so ugly, it ruined everything. So I had to pay to take the fence down."

Childish lazy ignorant entitled rich people.
At least she’s honest enough to admit they didn’t know what they were doing.
If she wasn’t cheap she’d have hired an experienced farm hand.

In other words, Ellen is saying she purchased too much property to manage in the way she wanted to.
This, after a great deal of expensive renovation.
Oh well. Be prepared to take a wee bit of a loss here and there, unless locals are ready to jump on it, cash in hand.

Proving you being rich didn’t come from having any sense or being smart.

So, they thought it was a good idea to build a wall to keep the sheep from crossing over an “Imaginary line” neat idea, DJT would agree

BRAVE AI:

Sheep Fence Climb
Sheep can climb fences, although they are generally less inclined to do so compared to goats. They are capable of climbing, jumping, and even crawling through fences, especially if they are motivated by food or the desire to escape.

Some sheep, particularly certain breeds like Cheviot and Black Welsh Mountain sheep, are known to be more adept at climbing than others.

Additionally, sheep have been observed working together to enlarge holes in fences, indicating a level of intelligence and cooperation.

While sheep may not climb as frequently as goats, they can still pose a challenge when it comes to containing them within a fenced area.
