A bit late posting about this one, but it's been a bit of a crazy week and I've barely had time to catch my breath, never mind keep up with the blog. Sometimes life just gets in the way a bit too much!
Last weekend I was lucky enough to get up to Yorkshire for a break, and my friend took me to the Masham Sheep Fair - a fab day out for someone who loves yarn and sheepy things so much!
We witnessed the intricacies of the judging process...
..wished I hadn't come north by train so I could have bought a Teeswater fleece to take home...
Had a laugh at the sheep show (Nobby the ram was being a bit of a sex pest to poor Susie who was next to him)...
...definitely a date for next year's diary. We missed the sheep racing and the sheepdog rounding up the geese, so plenty to go back for! I did manage to score some Alpaca sock yarn from a knitting stall and some fabulous moisturiser from Oakwood Aromatics (who make the wonderfully-named Oomilegs soap).

That last photo is a corker. Reminds me of Marie Hederwick's Katie Morag stories, in particular the one where Granny island and Katie M put the sheep (Alecina?) in curlers so that she will make best in show.
