Today is not my best day. My back is hurting badly and so I am not going to write much but I took these photos yesterday of my darling sheep and I think they are rather nice.
I love how they look with all their wool in amongst the beautiful wild flowers around our croft. If you could stand next to them, you would get a huge whiff of the surrounding clover (as well as a faint one of pee, if you are next to Lambie – he can’t help it).

First – sorry the back is acting up. Second- these are WONDERFUL pictures of the sheep.
Third – is this the longest you have waited to sheer the sheep?
Thank you
Thank you
And yes!
I am sorry you are in so much pain.
It wears one down, bit by bit, a never-ending grind.
I saw a lovely thing on Instagram this week of someone “rooing” their sheep to naturally take off the fleece, the sheep looked quite relaxed during the process. I am not for one minute suggesting you try it – I think your spine would complain mightily.
I hope you feel better. people often think sheep are all alike and not very smart. as I have said before you have shown me that each one is a distinct individual with their own personalities. they all shine brightly, even, and perhaps especially, Lambie.
I”m sorry you’re not feeling well Frances. Feel better soon!
So sorry. Pain is exhausting. All looking good, expecially Harrel.
Walking on uneven ground can be hard on a person’s back—or maybe it was all that celery flinging :). I hope you feel better soon and can enjoy these few weeks of summer.
