Hi from Penrith
« on: May 27, 2014, 08:09:07 am »
 :) Hi
I am new to this site, just want to say hello! I am looking for land and hoping to keep sheep (possibly Shetlands) in the future, and am here to learn and make friends.

Welcome from just up the road, near Brampton (the one near Carlisle, not the one off the A66.)   :wave:

Good choice of breed;  I have a small mixed flock for fleece (I spin :spin:), and have been impressed with the Shetlands and Shetland crosses I have. 

Do you (or shall you) spin?  If so, you may want to check out Eden Valley Guild, which meets in Mungrisdale on the third Saturday of every month.  Lovely friendly people :) - one of them is me!   :D

Thank you so much for all your welcomes  :wave:

Great to know there are some local people - Jaykay - you are not far away. and Sallyintnorth even nearer. I hope I will be able to gain some knowledge from you, and possibly meet your flock sometime? As for spinning, I don't know, although I do knit a little - I have the Woolfest in my diary Cockermouth on 27th June, to have a visit and see what it is all about.

Thanks

I'll be on the front door 12-1 I think it is, and around the rest of Friday.  Almost certainly back on Saturday too.

I'll be wearing my Ravelry badge with my Ravelry and real life names on it - castlemilk Sally.  But unless I have my hair up you probably won't be able to see the badge ::)

It would be good to meet you :)
