Snow is falling out of the sky, as I type.

Fer cryin’ out loud, it is nearly the middle of May.

And cold?  Yup it is bitterly cold.

This is not ideal weather for lambing and foaling.  I am worried for animals I don’t even own.

Anywho, a few of you have mentioned that you might like to purchase a sheeple so here they are, ready to go.

I think the best way is for you to email me – frances@fstaylor.co.uk – with your first choice of sheep and, if no one else has asked for him, then I will set him aside for you.  Please use the number for the photo and also where he is in the line so I can easily identify him.  Postage is about £3.10 (UK) to £5.00 (US) – it is not too bad if I remember rightly.

What else? oh, yes – they all have nice faces and kind personalities.  That’s important to know.  Each sheep is handmade by me.
