April 17th. We have had all the sheep shorn - quite a job in this temperamental weather! Richard Savory of 'The Sheep Show' did them for us as he likes to keep his hand in with a few each year. I will be contacting people on the waiting list soon, so if anyone else would like a fleece, please let me know.

May 13th. All our sheep were vaccinated against BTV on May 3rd. Our Vet did them as we will possibly need certificates to Show or to sell, and if we had injected them ourselves it would not have been 'official'. We are really grateful to our Vet, Will Stevenson of Norfolk Farm Vets, who fitted us in between calls while he was on duty at the weekend. With Spot-On and Click and most importantly the vaccination, we feel we have done all we can to protect our Flock from the dreaded Blue Tongue Virus.

June 3rd. We had a fantastic Suffolk Show. The Breed Champion - Glaven Bramble - is a twin to Glaven Bracken who won last year.

June 21st. We have just brought the sheep that we are taking to the Royal Norfolk Show in to a barn, and the adults are to be washed today - but it is raining and it will be difficult to get them dry!
We are looking for a house with a few acres to buy within reach of Reepham and have just put this house on the market privately.
