My New Years resolution is to do a blog every week - well better late than never. The sheep are doing well and we should have lambs in May hopefully after Wonder Wool. The Hebridean Tup went back on Tuesday when I was invited to attend a lambing course . Its three years since we had lambs so it was a useful day out. Yesterday we visited a friends farm to see some early lambs, suffolk and suffolk cross; nice big sheep with good fleeces. After shearing I will have some of these fleeces for sale. My three Hebrideans look tiny by comparison but the North Ronaldsay Esme is even smaller. I also have a Jacob cross, two Shetlands, a Swaledale/Cheviot cross and two Jacob/Cheviot twins.
Today its bright and dry so we are having a mid winter clean up in the barn and yard and taking the horse muck to the farmers huge manure at the other end of the village. I am also taking advantage of this dry weather to dry my new colours of dyed Shetland tops which will be on the website soon.
