Visit from the barber.
Both lambs and their mothers were relieved of their heavy coats when the travelling barber (aka sheep shearer) paid us a visit on Saturday. They look funny and very naked without their "clothes" on, but it grows back quickly and in good time before winter sets in. And we have sacks of the most beautiful coloured wool which I can't wait to start knitting from!
(if you think it looks brutal when they are handled like that, I can ensure you that it all happens very quietly and quickly, the guy is a pro and it's over in two shakes of a lambs tail)
