NEW SHEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!
Front to back are Geranium, Eloise, Amelia & Emily (spitting image of my old Ruby ❤️) & Bridget, who narrowly escaped culling when I wavered after marking her with the big green X for my friends 😂
I'd make a god-awful farmer

No matter how many times I make The Decision about an animal,it never gets any easier. My darling old Emmy, who had been remarkably well after a stroke in Feb,could no longer manage. Eye infection & slightly reduced appetite this morning sealed it.She had a lovely last day in the sun, with her flock

Can't even straighten my middle or ring fingers on my left hand. Possibly a good thing I don't have a ring on that finger, given it would have had to be made into a fucking adjustable ring by now. Psoriatic arthritis, 0/10, do not recommend

I'm trying to (finally) sort fleeces and I swear Torbjörn showers in hay when I'm not looking 😭😭😭
Think I'm going to have to keep this one and buy some wool combs, because I'm not putting that through my carder. It's such a lovely fleece 😭😭😭
