You’ve come far too early – just as They’re getting us organised for the summer. You could have waited. Mind you, so could They. I’d have hung on to my woolly coat a while longer, but They decided differently. Do you realise it’s still only 1°C in the night? It’s a sheep’s life …

Don’t they have sweaters?! I’ve even seen doggy rainwear…

True. But why shave a dog and then buy it a sweater? Naturally short-haired dogs do indeed get togged up in winter.

Couldn’t agree more, but there’s money to be made. I do have sympathy with lurchers and the like, though.

Agreed! A friend has a whippet who can shiver dreadfully in winter.

Definitely need that fur coat at night! Maybe someone will take pity on them and knit a jacket from all the wool.

Loads of talented knitters / crocheters in your neck of the woods. If they can yarn bomb a tree a sheep should be a doddle 🤣

It’s turned so chilly again that I reckon the sheep will be missing their woolly coats! A fun post 😀

It’s bad enough for them, but worse for birds. The young are hatching daily now and there are no insects about in this cold. Nestbox checking this morning for our weekly survey revealed too many dead hatchlings.

Indeed. It was a chilly day, but they were sweating in their vest tops. Poor sheep though. It’s still unseasonally cold. I’m messaging you today – honest! Sorry for the delay!
