Years of sheepy love and frustration ahead!

Sally.  Thank you.  Piccies at the weekend.

Brendon.  We don't talk about sheep love around these parts.  A little too close for comfort for some.  :innocent:

Am delighted I've started the theme of sheep love.....

But the story has been told in song for decades....

Didn't the Beach Boys have one....

And there are loads of other hidden gems....

"I only have eyes for ewe..."
"The only way is tup...."
"Please fleece me (like I fleece you)...."
"Wool you still love me tomorrow...."
"We will flock you....."
and the reggae classic... "We're lambin'.... (and I hope you like lambin' too)"

Come on TASers..... own your love....

(apologies Jon - don't want to distract from your joy.....)

5 days in and a bit of me is regretting getting these sheep.  They are far far too cute.   :eyelashes:
I might be biased but my sheep are prettier than most people's dogs and EVERYONE'S children.
If i'm not careful they will be living with me in the house.  They even eat out of your hands.  How cute is that!
Anyway, hopefully there will be some piccies attached to this.  Judge for yourselves.
