It was quite the eventful day at Struan Farm yesterday. When I took arriving farmstay guests down to the Cottage, I saw a somewhat scrawny little lamb in the Wool Shed yard. She had just been shorn, and was wearing a red collar--Rosie! She baaed and baaed. Next think I knew Pip popped out of the shed, barely recognisable but for her red collar and distinct spotted face.
I apologised to the guests, explaining the situation, and spent a minute trying to calm them down. I also popped my head into the shearing shed to talk to Farmer John, who was busy making sure he had rounded up the right lambs. Once identified they were finished up while I settled the guests into the Cottage.
After that I herded the little darlings back up to the house. Pepper and Ruby aren't coming near me, but they did follow me back. Everyone is now tidied up for Christmas, but looking like they need to drink more rather than less milk and munch lots of grass!
And as they say after a bad haircut, it will all grow back Rosie!
