  • No longer incognito...

    ... behind the rather flattering picture taken some years ago by a proper photographer, I am now revealed as an old boot, in all my glory!

    If you know my brother Tim, you'd be spooked by our uncanny resemblance to each other - my baby daughter used to scream the place down when he visited - not being able to cope with a male version of Mum, I think.

    And nice to see all my chums in the flesh, as it were - good idea, Kevin!

  • Feeling sheepish

    Yesterday was a sunny day (hurrah) and I went for a quick ramble through the fields near Morecombelake (passport time - it's in Dorset!) This is part of the National Trust's Golden Cap Estate, so there are lots of interesting things to see. But today I was mostly looking at sheep.

    Guarding a stile I wanted to cross, a ewe with half an ear on her lamb.

    Young lamb with his Mum (#45) - I hope they don't get too miserable in the cold snap we are expecting at the end of the week.

    No, you aren't in Cumbria - these are Herdwicks (somewhat out of focus - sorry about that).

    There were quite a few different breeds on this farm, including, if I was not mistaken, some Scottish Blackfaces
