Mrs Fox and her four cubs.

This morning began with a lot of alarm calls from the girls. As I was awake anyway I ran outside and spotted a vixen with her four cubs running through the field being chased by the girls. They soon saw her off, hopefully for good .  They all looked very pleased with themselves at breakfast, but no babies yet, maybe at the weekend.

Shearing complete!! Everybody naked!! All very calm this year, James was very efficient. Just waiting for the first of our first crias to arrive. This is the best time of year and I can be seen looking over the fence at every opportunity.

The Northumberland county show.

A lovely day was had by all at the Northumberland county show. We even won a first rosette and a ligjht male champion sash for Brook Willow Jefferson !.
