Yorkshire Sheep, Anglophile Friday

Yorkshire/Scottish Blackface Sheep

my favorite

It's been raining like crazy here, although the temps have been pretty pleasant, and it's reassuring to know that it's too warm to snow.

If you missed yesterday's post and happen to like sheep and fences, you might want to go back and catch that one.

If there had been any way I could have taken this fella (above) home with me, I would have (or as they say in England, 'I would have done.') Isn't he a beauty! Something about him reminded me of a German Shepherd.  Do you see the resemblance? A sheep is probably cheaper, but I doubt they're as good at keeping out the riff raff. 

 Striking terror

when needed

(Those of you who follow my blog can tell I'm missing my Shepherd

who died a year ago.)

Sheep and typical Yorkshire byre.

Rocks on roof presumably holding down the corrugated steel.

I know, you're expecting James Herriot to emerge from that barn any minute, aren't you!

The achingly beautiful Yorkshire Dales landscape.

Let me know if you hear of a contest with a prize of 3 months, all-expenses-paid stay in the Yorkshire Dales. What a treat that would be!

Too cute! These sweet sheep snuggled together in the shade,

Bolton Abbey.

Okay, I feel better now that I've had another couple posts about Yorkshire sheep. I hope you didn't mind.
