Hosing - and shearing.

Just look at the expression on Fyta's face as his legs and 'under carriage' are sprayed with cold water on a very hot afternoon - bliss!

Faro loves to be sprayed on his nose and mouth as well as his under carriage.  The first couple of days of this week were really hot and the boys were fleeced up before shearing.

Fergus (left), Fyta and Faro have had the water hose spraying them and now go for a roll on their rolling spot so that they can cover themselves in dust!

Fast forward from the hot temperatures earlier in the week to the wet and very cold weather we have had over the past couple of days.  Taken this afternoon, here are Fergus and Fyta waiting their turn to be sheared whilst Faro is undergoing his 'short back and sides!'

Shearer Jamie goes to work on Faro whilst Sophie keeps everything neat and tidy.  Faro accepted his trim with very little resistance!

Sophie trims Fyta's top knot so that he can see clearly once again!  Thank you Jamie and Sophie for doing such a great job shearing our boys.  Hope you continue to have a good journey through the rest of the Highlands and Islands, hope the weather is much better than it was today and look forward to a less Covid restrictive visit next year.  Take care.

And here is the result of Jamie and Sophie's hard work - a proud looking Faro, showing off his new, sleek look!

And finally.............. this beautiful Iris flowered in the sunshine earlier in the week - the colours are stunning.  Take care of yourselves and stay well wherever you are reading this blog.
