My 70 year old neighbour asked me why when shepherds have occupied our farms quietly for 600 years, is shepherding suddenly a dirty word and hill farming despised in the media. Opinions are grinding people down. Respect costs nothing.

These seem a great idea! Pocket sized, portable electric spinning wheels! Our guild members have ordered quite a few so I think a workshop on them might be on the cards.

Managed a tiny bit of plying amongst the Christmas chaos - singles that were lying around on toilet rolls haha but actually came together quite nicely. Mostly Shetland I think.
