🐑 Step back in time and experience a glimpse of rural life in times gone by.

This fascinating image captures the tradition of sheep shearing, an essential part of farming life that provided wool for clothing, blankets, and countless everyday necessities. Long before modern machinery, skilled shepherds and farm workers relied on hard work, expertise, and teamwork to care for their flocks and harvest this valuable natural resource.

The scene offers a wonderful reminder of the dedication, craftsmanship, and community spirit that shaped the countryside generations ago.

The torrential rain this week has caused a problem with our telephone system. It was reported yesterday and we are awaiting an engineer.

Apologies to people who us called yesterday when calls were being connected but we couldn't hear what was being said.

If you need to contact us this weekend, please use email or messenger.
