Bert is very handsome……

And obviously Ster is very handsome…..

And then there’s Lambie who has his Winning Smile.

I spent my winter worrying that Lambie felt very thin under all his wool – I could definitely feel ribs. I am sure of it. He was very bony.

And now I’m not quite so sure that I did. Lambie appears to be very fat or as my shearer politely remarked “I wouldn’t want to see him any fatter”.

Lambie is a leg-at-each-corner kind of fat. One substantial sheep.

(and also a very strange colour after being sheared. The white bits aren’t very white – more apricot or a delicate shade of “pêches et crème”!)

When I told Lambie this, he wobbled off in a huff.

And joined his equally fat friends.

I think the message I am receiving is diets for all! I won’t be popular.

In a stupidity has its moment kind of way, I think that they look great. I guess that this really isn’t a justification for an extra pound or two, but I would imagine that it takes a lot of nutrition to produce the fur that they produce over a year.
As long as the topic is sheep, you were so right in your assessment of the Sheep Detectives. What a delight!
Great film. One of my all-time favourites.
