Another Lancashire Farm by happypat

Another Lancashire Farm

Here is another farm we came across on our walk last Saturday. These farms are quite high above sea level so are a mixture of dairy & sheep. You can see the sheep have recently been sheared.
A rainy day so not the best photo!

A lovely day today here weather wise....hot sun & lunch out in the garden.

Three good things:
1. Looking forward to a week of programmes about long train journeys, all about India tonight.
2. A good book called The House we Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell.
3. A trip to York on the train tomorrow!

Great farm shot. What is the green band around the sheep?. I can see the balage all stacked nicely. Have fun on your train trip.

Nice to see the sheep all over the place. They are obviously free range!

I love the light like this on rainy days the grass looks so green

At least the rain makes the grass look very green, and for me it's just lovely to see the uncluttered countryside. You've been lucky today - it's been wet all day here since 11am and still raining. I'll make a note of the book. I'm reading The Seamstress at the moment, which I'm really enjoying.

I think you Brits are very intrepid to walk so often in the rain. Here we mostly wait for sunny days unless we have dogs. Good to see mixed farming still has a place too.

Lovely rich colours in the countryside. The sheep appear to have tails! Love to know the title of the Train Journeys programmes? My favourite type of travel program!

@julzmaioro Just a mark for that farm Julz....every farm has its own mark. I must say this is rather a large one....I think it's possible that it might be the raddle mark which shows when a sheep has been tupped but I thougtbitbmight be a bit early for that. Usually the farm mark is on the shoulder.
