The first day of February was mild and dry compared to the cold, wet slog that was January. I finally had some spare time to take Billy and Wee Matt for a short walk around sunset. It was the first walk we had of the year. After a tough winter, it was just wonderful to sit in the field with my sweet boys.
It's hard to believe, but despite being the furthest travelled sheep on the farm, Billy had never been in these fields before. He's been in his own field and the yard and that's it. Otherwise, he's been out with me, gallivanting.
To get just a glimpse of the sunset was a real treat. It made me excited for the spring to come.
I sat down to relax and enjoy the view. Wee Matt busied himself with trying to get at the treats in my pocket, while Billy gave me a kiss.
It was Wee Matt's first time in these fields too. I think he enjoyed himself. I can't wait for the days to get longer and the weather to improve so we can go out again.
Starting the walk home.
That was just what I needed.
