Summer Grass Inspectors

The grass was cut and wilting, and I'd had a rough day with losing Esther. I needed some sheep time to cheer me up.

Wee Matt and Jim accompanied me for an evening walk.

Wee Matt being handsome.

The soft evening light and good company was just what I needed.

The view was beautiful both ways.

Jim wasn't too sure about the long grass, though - he'd never seen grass so long.

Wee Matt wasn't bothered and happily waded in.

Jim preferred to stay in the cut field.

The cut grass passed inspection.

Wee Matt would've happily stayed in this field until well after dark.

Jim being cute.

Even the clouds were gorgeous.

Cut grass and mountains.

Wee Matt slowly followed behind us.

He was in no hurry, and neither was I.

Wee Matt Goes to a Walled Garden

In early June, I took Wee Matt to Castlewellan Forest Park. This was his first outing of the year.

Wee Matt is not a man to be rushed, so getting to the walled garden (where I'd been with Jim a couple of months earlier) took a while.

We reached the entrance to the garden eventually.

Admiring the flowers.

We had a wonderful time wandering around and admiring the colourful flowers, then we started making our slow journey back to the car park, stopping on the way to take the customary photo of a sheep in front of the castle, of course.

You wouldn't have known that Wee Matt had had the whole of the winter off from adventuring, he was such a good boy.
