Sorry Susiequeue - posted too soon. I have no experience of sheep can you recommend a book to start with.....complete newbie you see. How many sheep do you have on 2 acres? Greg
Tim Tyne's book which is Great but quite expensive.

Hi. Thanks fir greeting.
Fellow paperwork freak here too! All duly logged. I have not bought my wheelbarrow yet tho  :excited:
Top tip - make sure that your wheelbarrow is facing in the direction you want to travel before you start filling it ;D ;D

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

I would choose a purple wheelbarrow every time BUT the only use for it here would be as a decorative planter outside the back door, in a very sheltered corner. We have been here 10 months so far and OH is on his 3rd wheelbarrow, and I don't give it long. The others while not actually expired are not long for this world! So the moral of this story is to wait and get the best and most robust quality possible.

Then i shall wait!! We hope to hear from our 'buyers' tomorrow, which means we can plan / confirm our offer tomorrow on what we want to buy. Purple, pink, green. I. Just want to get a wheelbarrow out there. ( as long as it is green)  :farmer: :farmer:
