Some Sheep Pictures
A very generic title, I know, but it's for a good reason. Usually with my posts I like to have pictures that are similar in lighting and colour - if there's an odd picture out then I usually don't include it. But on this occasion when I went out to the sheep, almost every picture had different lighting and there's no point in separating them all.
Flora is often one of the first sheep to greet me and she didn't disappoint.
I really love these ones of Lois. Her wool has grown back enough for her to be pretty again - Hampshire Downs and Dorsets just look silly with their heads shorn.
Heather being herself.
Lois was being very photogenic on this day!
Black and white Flora.
Olive with Liz in the background.
Blue Belle has enjoyed wintering with her woolly friends. Due to her colour and small stature, at a distance she can be hard to distinguish!
Penny.
Sunny of SunnyJim.
I hope these boys have done their job - my ewes (and pony) have gotten rounder while they have gotten slimmer. Fingers crossed!
And finally, a very happy birthday to Penny who turns three today! She's a wonderful sheep and I love her lots.

A Sunday Walk With Charlotte and Holly
Yesterday was pretty cold but hey, it was dry! After a week of rain and over a month without a wee walkabout somewhere, I was itching to get out. We ended up in Dundrum.
Susan was doing me a favour and testing out a collar and lead I had made the previous week.
Our walk took us on a path just above the bay. (If you look closely, the boat is called Danny Buoy, hehe.)
Charlotte and Holly joined us - and they were wearing matching outfits.
Susan was wearing a cuddly snood hand knitted for her for Christmas by @herman_the_collie on Instagram.
I hadn't been on this path before and it was really nice looking down at the bay.
Holly was snuggly.
A lovely wee afternoon out and just what I needed.

Pure Gold
Another sunset with my beloved pet sheep - but what else have you come to expect from me? Bob led the charge but was quickly overtaken by the young ladies he and Esther have been babysitting over winter.
I went out determined to get some decent portraits of Tilly. The only problem with a sheep as friendly as Tilly is that she's always glued to my leg and I can't get far enough away for pictures. So I brought some help with me to distract her.
It turned out everyone was scared of my helper. They huddled at the gate.
The sunset was really nice.
Esther, despite being quite clingy herself, is still good at getting her picture taken. If I back away to take a picture, she simple can't be bothered to follow me right away.
Bridget is still a nervous lady.
Tilly again.
And who was my helper you ask. It was Fly.
Pip used to do this job for me so I'm glad Fly is able to do it too. A gentle girl.
