The sheep are here! The sheep are here!!
Those of you who know me know that one of my other massively geeky hobbies – apart from knitting, photography and collecting illness-prone Asian cats – is spinning fibre.
It’s not outside the realm of possibility that I had a hidden agenda in coming to work in the newsroom. Yes….it gets me close to the sheep, which means fibre, which means trying to score wool by the pound.
I didn’t totally neglect my photo mission (see? Look! A gallery!) but I’m sure hoping to stay in touch with some of …ewe. (rimshot).
So in this gallery, the groomers are trimming and clipping their sheep, children are having close encounters of the sheep kind, and the barn boss and veterinarian are checking sheep out to ensure they are healthy for sale.
