Where our sheep fleece rugs come from 🐑

My parents beautiful farm in south east Kent where my dad, who became a shepherd in his retirement - much to everyone’s surprise, rears a small flock of Shetland sheep on 40 acres of flat chalk grassland. Not for meat, he won’t eat his pets. just for the pleasure, the love of the land and the company of his sheep. In fact several of his sheep are from his original flock when he started 10 years ago. He makes every effort to sell his sheep for breeding when he needs to reduce his numbers or buy new sheep and his rams go over to neighbouring flocks to reproduce.
Here I am on my wedding day with the affectionately named sheep Mrs.Desperate. Why? Because she’s always the first one to come up to you and desperately climb on you for sheep nuts. A bit of love for Mrs.Desperate 🙌❤️
