We have tons of windfalls now and the sheep go crazy for them. Their funny little teeth aren't made for crunching so I lovingly chop the apples before walking into the field with the bucket. Elisa is looking very elegant and beautiful. Here she was rather worried about the camera. I've noticed that when I am wearing a hat or sunglasses she doesn't recognise me either. It was a sunny weekend and I found them sitting in the shade of the polytunnel. While I was picking the pumpkins I could see them staring at me through the plastic! We have started feeding them the hay that we made in July - and they love it. We've modified the feeder so that the hay doesn't fall onto the ground so easily.
The nights are cooler, longer and darker so they sleep in the field where they seem to feel safer than in their shed. But there is a thick layer of straw in the shed now, which we collected from R's oat fields.
