In full bloom, the alpine rose bright pink flowers and green blemish free foliage are a couple of weeks earlier than last year, it must have liked the frequent frosts and low rainfall. Started to dismantle the sheep shelter in the square paddock, nearly ready to raise the roof and cover with planks and a new tarpaulin. The end of the workshop has been cleared to create enough space for the shearer to handle the sheep, they need to be kept inside the night before to give the fleece time to dry. A cloudy start to a sunny day, lunch at The Baker Arms.
