Throwawy prices for throws

19th February: we are doing a bit of early tidying so putting some throws on special offer - AND WE MEAN SPECIAL!  All at well below half price ... Enjoy!

Preparing for lambs

19th February: only about 6 weeks to go so up go the food rations!  All are looking quite good and healthy and seem very content ... so far, so good!  A few coughs have been treated and we are keeping a VERY careful eye on feet.  Here are a few lambs from previous years!

Winter shearing and Happy New Year!

17th January, 2012: Happy New Year!  Here are pictures of the flock and winter shearing.  Gideon the shearer and I delayed this event, which is normally before Christmas, because the weather was horribly wet.  Sheep are fine with cold but much less happy with wet, particularly when shorn.  So I feed them extra rations and give them access to shelter anyway but the wet and wind were a bit much.  We seem to have struck lucky as it has scarcely rained since we did it.

Here are the hoody patterns for kids

29th December: These are Robyn and Miles playing with their Christmas presents outside our house and also modelling the hoodies! (Before it rained again.)

Things other than sheep? Well, there are some ... special offers!

29th December: We have been inspired by the special offers going around at present and, not to be outdone, have increased our 10% off orders over £50 for yarns and textiles to a whole 20% off for New Year and January!

Sunday 11th December: Well, the fun is over for another year ...  I put the rams back with their long-term wether (fine-wether?) friends and left the ewes in peace.  This was less traumatic than I feared (sometimes there is resistance!) but having a few wethers around confuses rams usefully, and anyway there was food in buckets.
