Big congratulations to Lydia and Paul Murray - their Clun Forest sheep not only won best male and female AOB, but went on to win *both* best male and best female overall on the field at Cartmel today. Absolutely ran away with it! #SheepOfTheDay

Carmel show. Entry in the one flower and one vegetable class. The rest of the horticulture tent may as well go home now, this has to be best in show

Cartmel show tomorrow, don't miss it! #SheepOfTheDay

Congratulations too to Ethan Clark, champion Rough Fell at Penrith last Saturday #SheepOfTheDay

Breasthigh road looks in a lot better condition than it used to. I remember pushing me bike most of the way down there once

Thanks to Stanley Jackson for judging at Penrith Show on Saturday. If there's anyone knows one end of a Herdwick from t'other, it's Stanley #SheepOfTheDay

Ah but that’s exactly what a maker-upper would say

Is that a real place or have you made it up?

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

Congratulations to Richard Sharp, first prize for his (Yorkshire-bred) Herdwick gimmer lamb at Penrith yesterday #SheepOfTheDay

Congratulations to Ian Grisedale, Herdwick champion at Penrith Show today, and Vicki Edgar, reserve (ably assisted by Heather Grisedale) #SheepOfTheDay

Penrith show tomorrow. Doesn't have a great track record weatherwise - I hope the judge is decisive and gets it over with quickly #SheepOfTheDay
