Welcome everyone to our November 2021 blog. It's a short blog posting this month, probably because it's been a rather wet month and I haven't taken so many photos.
This little fella loves to come and sit with me while I enjoy my morning coffee
Isn't he just adorable ?
Yet another traffic jam in Aultbea while the sheep are escorted to their winter grass.
~~~~~~
This is the underside of the Herdwick sheep fleece rug/throw that I started a few weeks ago, showing the felted "skin".
This is the top showing the longer fibres.
Unlike traditional sheepskin rugs where the animal is killed for it's skin and fleece, this method enables the sheep to live on and grow another fleece for the next few years, everyone wins !!
~~~~~~~~
This coming Saturday Aultbea is being treated to a filmed live performance of The Nutcracker,
complete with ice creams and popcorn at cosy tables for two,
looking forward to a brilliant afternoon.
Thank you Stan for organising this event.

Poem of the month
Are my eyes open ?
The blackest of black.
Nothing moves.
Silence.
Nothingness.
Just am.
Without knowing have I passed from life to death?

The dog snores at the end of the bed.

Pause for thought

One of my daily pleasures is to say goodnight to pony Zara and sit with her while she munches her way through some hay, in her eagerness she sometimes surprises me over the railing in the shelter and looks rather spooky in the light of my head torch !
