Over the garden wall.

The top picture shows some of our old farm buildings now redundant & passed for houses for new owners Geoff & Brian.
You can see our unfinished wall to the left which we were unable to finish owing to the fact that there was a roof covering the building they are working in this morning.
Any time now we will be able to build our wall up to match the rest.
Geoff & Brian bought some ewes with lambs in Skipton Market this week so this morning they were trimming the lambs feet & checking the weight.

I offered them a mug of tea....they are both grand guys & good neighbours, they said no but I could go & help if I wanted...I declined!!!

Three good things:
1. Off to Cathy's house for tea now.
2. Lovely B&Bers in last couple of nights, one was a Rheumatologist who inspected Harry's sore knee, told him he had fluid on it & he has to rest it...no more walking for the papers for a few days!!!
3. Harry is washing my car ..a pigeon egg has fallen out of the nest all over my car bonnet!!

Your shots and comments are always so interesting Pat. This is a great collage with plenty to see and absorb. Lambs are so cute and get put in such undignified positions!!!

[Alison Tomlin]

Love the action capture of the chase! What is the village where you live?

[Pat Knowles]

@jesperani Thanks so much Jennifer..I loved the look of trust on the face of the little lamb looking up at Brian!

@fueast One mile out of Great Eccleston Allison.

I Love how they carry the sheep! I sometimes pick up Betty like this then she can't struggle. She loves it really!

[Jane Pittenger]

A lovely candid rural scene captured in three shots - Pat, this gives a peep into the sheep farmers life

[Jean Tookey]

Fav ! I love this collage. Great action shot.

[Rick Schies]

That looks like a fun job. Are the sheep calm about it?

1. They've obviously had your tea before.
2. Don't use your b&bers as your own personal NHS.
3. If Harry's supposed to rest his knee don't let him wash your car.

Great montage of pictures depicting sheep chiropody.

This looks a very old livestock yard and huge brick walls! You have to have a good back to do this sort of work!

[Judith Greenwood]

You've done it now Pat - @fueast will be over sticking her camera over your wall at those lovely lambkins. I didn't know they sold sheep & lambs together - I'm going to ask Nigel if I can have some ;0) My friend is a lovely rheumatologist (in Newcastle these days) - very handy when you need a bit of joint advice! Your bricks are gorgeous....

A very busy scene lots going on over your garden wall, I saw that you had made a comment on Helens photo" great hats" she had borrowed my sun hat for the trip, it looks good on her

[Sue Wilde]

I love seeing all the action happenning here

[Karin Hirsch]

Great story again and lovely shots to document your daily encounters. Always like the read/view it

[Barb Smith]

What a great collage, Pat. Love the story, too. Really great textures here - on the buildings, the animals, the ground. Love it.

Fabulous collage! This is a site I have yet to see for myself.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]
