SHORN!!!

The sun shone (honestly) not for long but long enough for Jumble and Jelly to be

enticed into the hurdles.  They are rather partial to sheep nuts, not off the

ground of course, only by hand!

So the shearing began.  Poor Jelly wasn't completely convinced being wrestled to the ground by

a stranger to have her fleece removed - the indignation!  Although a stranger to her

Steven Bennett's help was very much appreciated by us, we have

not tried our hand at shearing yet and decided that taking up an offer of help

would be a good idea!  Jelly had no idea of how she could have looked without his help.

But here she is, Jelly sporting her new summer look - very trendy I think.

Soon to follow was Jumble, who looks rather proud of his appearance.

I'm not sure it was entirely fair of our two pigs (Millie & Amelia) to stand

and laugh but by now I think Jumble & Jelly were just relieved that the ordeal was over.
