Last week, Kim had a birthday. She wasn’t the only one, we had the pleasure of spending the morning down on Chris and Phil’s farm where plenty of lambs where having their birth day too 🙂

We also met the lambs in the orphanage and saw some ewes fostered out for the duration…
We even caught a couple of rebels out in the act!

Jess and Kim spent last week flying the flag for British wool and all things British manufacturing with the first official outing of the Woolly Bag Wall. With Chelsea going bonkers for our British wool dog leads, we knew we were going to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. Our highlight? Having the Queen’s bouquet tied with twool. …
