My first day of sheep paparazzi-ing since September 2019 yesterday and LOTS of sheep at the Royal Lancs Show including more breeds than I've seen there before.
Manx Loaghtan.
Border Leicester. Gotta love those ears!

I bet you loved every second of your day Mr Lumb
Nice to get back to a bit of normality.
Love the sheep by the way

Well attended. I thought I'd arrived too early but still had to stand in fifty yard queue, and there was still a queue to get in when I left around three. People glad to get out and about again.

It got warm too.

It was good to get back and see familiar old faces again. One farmer I spoke to said they'd missed the social side of the shows and of the auction marts where there was no hanging around to see how your stock sold, have a brew and a chat in the cafe, just drop them sheep off and drive away.

I think many of us have missed the ordinary things we enjoy, be it fishing, photography, or whatever we do.

Sheep everywhere! A nice sheep-only show yesterday - plus some sticks and sheepdogs.
