Our Shepherd Katherine says Ernest's update
July seventh, sheep are all clipped finally!
All except for 6, that is, who will have to carry on sweltering until the ITV film crew can get here to film.
It was pandemonium. These were all the frisky ewes who have just had lambs.
I was up at 5am, gathered them all in a pen. Dave the shearer arrived and then it started raining, classic, the only rain to fall in 3 months. Clipping was abandoned and shearer went home saying he would be back when it cleared. Let the sheep back into the pasture. At midday Dave the shearer said he was coming back, as the sun had now made an appearance.
Could i catch the sheep?!? if only.
Izzy called to ask if she could come with the film crew - managed to politely says not a good time.
Next thing, the shearers wife called Izzy, she wasn't happy - no she was absolutely furious -the three of us, shearers wife, Dave the shearer and I had been running circles round t' fields trying to catch them fer very long time and Dave the shearer was on the verge of walking off, shearers wife thought he was going to have a heart attack. Bit woolly if you ask me but, I put the film crew off, they want wildlife episode not soap opera drama!
Shearers wife raged at Izzy, Do you have any idea how naughty your sheep are, how absolutely impossible they are to catch and handle?! you should come and see my flock, see how good they are, so you can compare your wild ones to them!
We visited Dave the shearer this afternoon sheepishly bearing his cheque and a box of fruit and vegetables. All was forgiven after a few strong brews!

Our Shepherd Ernest says The antics of two lambs
In the spring of this year we had a few Shetland lambs born on land that we rent for summer grazing. On one side of the land theres a river which is fenced off. About four weeks after the lambs were born, two of them a brother and sister found a way under the fence and no matter how many times I tried to block it off they always found a way to get through. As soon as they saw me coming through the gate into the field they would run back to the place where they could push through the under the fence and run back to mam. This has gone on all summer, but one day last week when I went to check on the flock, the two lambs ran to the fence, got half way under it then stopped. It was as if they were thinking 'hang on - we do this every time he comes then we only go back again when he's gone so lets stop here and see what happens. When I got all most up to them they pushed through and went back to their mother, but they did look so funny halfway under the fence. I can see those two are going to give me alot of trouble in the future.
