Wednesday it is then, though being the shy nervous type that I am, you will have to prime me on details and what to bring with me, inc in the edible dept ..

Thanks for the ideas, I seem to always run out of time before to post again. here it is 6 am, the only time I get on. The weather has been proving winters here early, close to -30C this morning with wind chill and snowed heavily last night so the drifting should be brutal this morning. It's a steady thing keeping everyone out in the barn and corrals sheltered enough. I'm hoping to get to the fleece before lambing starts but a few rams got out last fall so am watching close already :fc:
