Daisy and I worked all afternoon packing vegetables for Transition Turriefield. Always a pleasure, never a chore with lots of chat and laughing.
Feeling guilty that I hadn’t taken any photos for the blog all day, I made Daisy drive home while I occasionally shouted “stop” so I could try to capture something.
This is Foula while the Autumn Shetland sun is setting. Not a bad view for a drive home.
Once home, I “did the gate” so Daisy could drive the car in and unload our massive box of veg. While I walked up our track to the crofthouse, I saw the sheeple were in their field with the gate open so, with camera ready, I shouted “Lambie, Lambie, Lambie” and waited.
My little boy (and his friends) all came running. Luckily Turriefield had given us a special bag of carrots labelled “Lambie”, so I distributed them fairly.
I love coming home to a sheeple welcome. It makes everything good.

Aw, that’s the best welcoming! Lambie so special and beautiful and very cool, I love it! On a day like today, when people interactions are hard, all I want to do is go home to my barnyard. We are so lucky to have our animals friends!
I understand about people interactions being hard. Animals don’t come with those rules.
How could one not love this kind of greeting????? And the fact you came home with a bag marked “Lambie” says it all. Lucky you!
OMG – I never expected to see a sheep run like that to someone calling. That’s absolutely marvelous and you must have been overjoyed (just as Lambie and his cohorts were)! A nice end to a good day.
Lovely!
Wow! i’m very impressed with Lambie!
These are the most adorable pictures of your Lambie! What a welcome for you when you got home! He always looks like he’s smiling too. Love that Lambie!!!
What a wonderful way to come home!
I wish I had my own Lambie to call when I come home! =)
Great photos!
Perfect day! Joy abounds!
There are few better feelings than when a beloved sheep comes galloping towards you x
