Why is everything on that weekend - even my biggy wedding anniversary  ::)  Not that I would be going as far as Llandovery although it looks great fun.  I hope someone will tell us all about it after the event  :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:

I think because I had sheep entered and also bought last year they sent me one automatically.

And I hate paperwork - bit obvious what I am supposed to be doing this morning.
