Three of Maria’s six wool sheep have arrived – black Border Leicesters, and we have six more across the road in the meadow, Darryl Kuehne’s sheep boarding for the summer, eating our lush grass. There was a neat meet and greet with the donkeys – the sheep seemed very comfortable around them, and Maria has already bonded with the older ewe. It is nice having sheep here again. Red arrives next weekend and he will be delighted to have work to do.

Maria is very happy to have sheep. I always get nervous when more animals arrive, but these are calm and easy creatures, and I think she will loving selling Bedlam Farm yarn. They are coming to the new farm, as is the rest of the crew. Photo album on Facebook.
