A hardy Herdwick Ewe. Cannot be far from lambing time, so I bet she is hoping that this never ending succession of storms comes to an end. It is a tough life as it is for Hardwick’s on the Cumbrian Fells and nature at the moment is making life just that bit tougher.

😀 Yes, nature is a finely tuned ‘machinery’, indeed.
I hope you’re not hit by the floods in the south, David?

No we are well away from the floods ad live on a hill. But the floods are really bad for large areas and one does wonder just what one can do to help both short term and long term. It really is a bad scenario for those effected and life change for so many
