It’s lovely . But it’s 90% cleaning and hard work than when I stand still for the 10% to enjoy the animals and land I realise why I do this. :relaxed::relaxed:

I love their names - how do you come up with them. Does it come to you when you first meet them or do they have to earn it over time! Some of them I can guess why but love their names! :slight_smile:

I used to be creative with names that’s why some have proper names . Now it’s just what ever is easy to remember. :joy::joy::joy: It’s hard to remember that many. :person_shrugging::person_shrugging:

Thank you. And I hope I can get a video from Laurence on as he follows me like a dog round. Than when you stand he pushes his horn in your leg or when he thinks he wants be funny he give you a little headbutt. And unicorn doesn’t come to mind than :rofl::rofl::rofl:

@Kaveh I love the idea of a sheep spotting video! Animals have such calming energy. @sonja.ekkers.77 thank you for introducing those lovelies to us, they are all gorgeous :heart_eyes:
I went on holiday with my partner back in September to the South West of England and we stayed in a farm, we spent hours looking out at the horses (the farm owner trained them), and sheep in the fields…in the distance… on the rolling hills. Something of a dream :heart::racehorse::racehorse::ram::sheep::sheep::sheep:

That would be an idyllic weekend! I can imagine that having to work for them is tough love @sonja.ekkers.77 but I can’t tell you how much love these creatures give without knowing they have to onlookers and passerbys!

@sonja.ekkers.77 : you should consider organizing sleep camps… counting sheep camps or whatever they would be called :smile:
people coming over to literally count sheep and fall asleep at night - with Laurence :sheep: gently nudging them every now and then… :sleeping:
