I wrote out the whole blog and then the broadband went down and lost it all. **sigh **.

So here I go again…….

It was about how we had a visitor who was up in Shetland for Wool Week, and how I put her to work helping me finish building the electric fence track for winter for the Shetland ponies.

And then I said, as a reward for all her work, we went into the big field so she could reacquaint herself with the residents.

I also added that my visitor has sheep herself so obviously knew the ways of sheep very well.

She was, of course, a very good sheep magnet. Even Gussie got over his “stranger danger” routine which was encouraging.

And, ooh look, Lambie had a thought.

I feel I should place a light bulb up there somehow.  Anyway, it was brief.  He didn’t dwell on it.

After lunch and after more helping (building a wall of ice in the freezer so that if we have a power cut, it would hopefully protect the contents and take a much longer time to defrost), we went out to see the other ponies, while I quickly poo-picked the track.

So that was my day. I wrote about it all and then it was lost so now I am sort of writing it all out again but with less enthusiasm.  I am enjoying my visitors very much.  They are very useful.
