Thank you Jon! She will be indoor if she has done her "thing". I will probably see her lambs later this summer.
I have decided to pop in and give a print to the farmer. With her at the wall (the sheep), she (the farmer) will not eat her, that's Tim the Sheep lover's plan ;-) Seriously; I think I'll give it her to express my gratitude for letting me hang around and photograph. And I do love sheep's. It's the best meat there is ;-) This reminds me, Easter is time for roast lamb with garlic and rosemary. I can hardly wait.
