We have had the pleasure of a visit from Philip today and I can guarentee he is very good! Ouessants are fiddly and difficult and wriggle like a good un but he is quiet and patient and they all look good! Since we have a dearth of shearers in this area due to retirements we will book him again!

Isn't he brilliant?! He's like a sheep whisperer - my 2 ewe's loved him!

I really like his calm, steady way with the sheep too, as well as shearing them nicely

Thanks Everyone for the good feedback,
Nice to meet you Val and all your helpers, who did a great job.
Hope I didn't bleed on your white fleece too much

and thanks for the plaster.

For anyone who is interested I now have a comments page on my website, always good to get feedback about my work (good, bad or indifferent)

Thanks,
Philip

Yup, another fan here

Not only is he patient and kind with the sheep, he's the same with novice she-shearers!

And yes, I did do the last one myself, after you'd gone, and yes I got it off in one and no there was no blood. Perhaps a little unorthodox in places...

but we made it.

Of course I won't be able to stand or walk properly for a couple of days...

Thanks so much for fitting us in at the end of a long day. We really appreciate it.
