Much cooler dudes!

Fyta boy - feeling much cooler now having been sheared a couple of weeks ago and now with his fringe cut off.

Fyta's best pal - Faro.   He's also benefiting from having less fleece, especially when we have very hot days.

Fergus being told that he's a 'good boy' - the other boys get told this but, unlike Fergus, they are not keen on being stroked.

The 'sit-on' was in action several times this week during dry weather but Faro (left) and Fergus are not concerned by it's noise.

Even less concerned is Fyta who stayed in the sandpit whilst the mower cut the grass in the adjoining paddock!

The weather has been good this week but there has been a lot of moisture in the air, especially in the mornings.  This has brought out the midge population and Fergus and Fyta in particular do now like them so they have spent lots of time lying in the darkened field shelter trying to avoid them.

And finally............ Kniphofia (Red Hot Pokers),  a favourite flower.  Over the past few years we have been planting them along the road side and they make a lovely sight when they are all in flower.
