Last night was spent rehydrating hoglets and picking fly eggs and maggots from them, Ugh.
Painstaking but worth it if they all survive. What I actually wanted to be doing was trying a new recipe for cookies, making a spicy quinoa salad and applying a Lush facemask.

Well its sheep sheering time again. We have seven sheep at the moment, we sheer them ourselves and take the opportunity to worm them, trim their hooves and give them a good check over. This is Jeff, he’s not the usual sheep, he actually doesn’t mind being sheered, he makes it look far easier than…
